This was really fascinating. It just goes to show you that there is a whole lot more than just code with something like this. My gut tells me that a unix SQLServer would have been a the poor stepchild of the family if they had gone this route. That said, it would be very nice if MS made genuine, supported drivers for SQLServer on unix. I know about FreeTDS, but that just doesn't cut it for something mission critical.
