Oh wow!!!!!

I see issues almost immediately. I wonder how they will provide connections? Oh there are ODBC tools on Linux but to get Linux to connect you have use FreeTDS or unixODBC. Neither, is a walk in the park to setup and IMO not as good as MS-ODBC tools. Then of course there are the issues of replacing MySQL and PostgreSQL (both are free and are standard on all releases of Linux).

Right now I'm of the opinion that there is little in the Linux world that beats PostgreSQL in terms of features and performance.

All that said - I'm happy to see M$ may soon become just 'MS'.
