In todays *Nix wars it's the reverse ... M$ is about to swallow Oracle in the Sql Databases area, *Nix is about to swallow M$ in the Server operating systems. The only problem with this equation is that if M$ swallows Oracle in databases, then they become the largest db vendor. M$' SQL Server ONLY runs on M$ operating systems. Thus they have a lock on any machine that needs to run SQL Server. There are more ways to win the OS wars than brute force and ignorance. John W.

You think price might come into the equation? What's the number one motivation for the growth of *Nix? Say $5,000 per processor for Sql Server vs. $0 for PostGreSql? Don't have the number for Windows 2000 Server vs. *Nix but sure they're comparable. Dare we price the coming .Net server without getting a nosebleed? Tom (We won't even mention security!) Adams Ever see the picture of a little fish, about to be swallowed by a bigger fish, about to be swallowed by an even bigger fish, ... several move layers? In todays *Nix wars it's the reverse ... M$ is about to swallow Oracle in the Sql Databases area, *Nix is about to swallow M$ in the Server operating systems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Barabash" <BBarabash at TappeConstruction.com> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:09 AM Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: Yee Haw.... > Well actually yes: > http://wwws.sun.com/software/chilisoft/ > (but it ain't cheap!) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Adams [mailto:tomadatn at bellsouth.net] > Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 10:01 AM > To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com > Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT: Yee Haw.... > > > Oh.
