So you trust in Morgan rather the article.
Here's an example of his bigotry:
http://www.psoug.org/reference/sqlserver.html
His "Storage Concepts" area is just plain wrong; he's been told countless times by many people yet he prefers to persist the incorrect view.
The Oracle Tablespace maps to the SQL Server FileGroup; in SQL Server a single database can have one or many file groups and each file group can have one or many files - we place objects on filegroups.
Now, if Morgan was interested in being "accurate" then he would fix his own article....
