Just a quick reminder, MS SQL on Windows is hands down the best performing transact SQL database on the planet, and Oracle on Windows is a close #2. Some might argue that Oracle is #1 and MS is #2. Anyone that argues any Linux SQL db even comes close in performance better provide some evidence to back their argument.
The last time I used MS SQL was about 5 years ago, but it was hands down the biggest heap of crap in the database world back then. I guess it has improved, but if you think its the best out there I guess you haven't tried very much stuff.
Its only the Windows crap which ever really used ODBC. Most people have always used direct operations.The asp.net SQL database providers for MS SQL and Oracle SQL are highly optimized direct socket interfaces to the SQL server. (no odbc crap!)
You would be hard pressed to build a faster web app than asp.net talking to MS or Oracle SQL servers with the native .net provider.
It will not surprise me a bit to see the better of the asterisk web front ends on MS platforms, primarily because the larger companies that might use * in the future already use MS SQL and Oracle for their customer databases.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against UNIX/Linux, I just know that
both windows and Linux have their place in the world.
I think you've been drinking the Koolade.
