I'm researching migrating from Sybase to MySQL and this looks like an interesting alternative considering MariaDB is released under GNU GPL and is a fork of MySQL outside of Oracle control. Are there any weak points in MariaDB worth no

Why pay $1,299 for a thin client OS even if it's running thick client hardware? I can run a browser and so much more in a macbook air or thinkpad in the same price range.
