I have a historical bias against Windows. I don't run production Oracle on Windows by choice. If SQL Server ran on a decent operating system it might be a decent product.

That said ... my website is an academic resource used by students at the University of Washington and the intention is to make it as complete and accurate as possible. And given that I teach in the Paul G. Allen Computing Center and the first class I ever taught at the U was in Mary Gates Hall it is not an environment where one can not be mindful of Microsoft's influence.

Now are you capable of actually pointing to an error or omission or is the sole extent of what you have to offer complaining that I prefer scotch to brandy?
