The biggest reason to avoid Microsoft products when I choose platforms
and tools for projects is missing freedom. I never know why but maybe I
really like MSSQL but I have some reason to drop NT - I can't do this.
MSSQL runs only on
NT. In own projects I always try to keep myself free from any limits to
be ready to migrate in case of emergency.
Using MySQL is risk-free. If you do not like it, you have freedom to
change most things to MSSQL easily anytime. When you use MSSQL you are
stuck.
This is my own view and I do not know what my company thinks.
