.NET/MySQL will be a _lot_ cheaper than .NET/MSSQL. Visual Studio will
save you a lot of time, but even that is a cost consideration, there is
a free .NET GUI too. If you go Windows and .NET, I'd strongly encourage
you to use Connector/NET rather than Connector/ODBC. Assuming you are
using such a direct connector rather than ODBC, there are small
MySQL-MSSQL differences in how you work with the database in the .NET
GUI, but these differences will not slow you down appreciably. If OS is
a major issue for you, it's even possible now to develop in .NET/MySQL
on Linux, but a main point of .NET is to insulate you from the OS, and
IAC Windows is not hard to get comfortable with, even if you hate it as
many do.
