Where do you expect SQL Server customers to run their databases?

Does Microsoft really have to perish for Linux to be successful? That sounds like the marketing drive of a certain company I know.

"It is not sufficient that I succeed, everyone else must fail"

Linux is ready for production because it is at the developmental stage of good Unix derivates circa 1995. And believe me, there was a lot of production Unix in 1995...that is the older generation talking...
