[dba-Tech] Dearly Departed Databases (R.I.P.)

They would have to quit MS to write it, I am certain. The DotNet folks would

sold Nantucket to CA for $76M... not a bad multiple. (Perhaps I know too
much about the insides of this to continue.)

Now that would be THE killer app.  Anyone with the contacts in the 
development team to give them a few nudges in the right direction?
