>>What I objected to was the inaccuracy. You were quite wrong, and you personalized my correction as "inappropriate".

LOL. I am allowed to find things inappropriate and I shouldn't have to put up with personalized accusations of personalization- again.

In this case, who cares? The market is moving to mobile devices driven by vendors who don't give a proverbial about NET, or about SQL Server for that matter. The most deployed database in the world is sqlite which is an absolutely dominant force by now and IMHO you'd be a fool to consider anything else for a mobile app at this stage unless you're using cloud in which case you go with the provider who offers the best terms. So far WP7 doesn't have an accessible database at all but when it does get one it'll be something typically proprietary that will draw excited praise from MS minions but that the market largely will ignore. This is the current reality and whether YAG was a senior exec or your accusations were appropriate or personalized or not, who cares? I certainly don't.
