Microsoft is adapting at a good pace, going beyond the windows ecosystem. Last time I used SQL server, it didn't support sharding across machines, so only supported vertical scaling (unless you buy the appliance or add sharding logic at the application layer). I think that's something they need to fix, to start using SQL server for large scale applications.
Now if they can just fix windows, I might start using that too. Maybe WindowsX? I do enjoy using VSCode on Mac!

- gaurav-gupta 10y agoThanks for sharing this! Its interesting to know Microsoft tried this 10 years ago. They might eventually bring it back, after making sure all their other applications work on ..nix :) They are definitely sowing the seeds now, with .NET support on Linux, adding the ubuntu subsystem, SQL server...
