I wouldn’t say desperate. I have had a lot of feedback recently with my customers about oracle auditing policies, and pricing. They (Oracle) seem to be creating a more and more adversarial relationship with their customers.  

Microsoft may simply see an opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. I think this is going to be interesting to watch, I am going to get some popcorn. And probably learn something about sql server too.

"For every instance of Oracle you have, we’ll give you a free SQL Server license. ..."  

There's no free lunch so there must be some fine print. What features are included? Is it free in perpetuity?
