That might be right, but this is how Microsoft works. I think it would be a big advantage if it is possible to use mySQL instead of MS SQL Server not only at the startup of a new project. It's so nice to have instruments like MyODBC, why break here? Quoting like Micrsofot should not become standard, but an option. And I think, I am not the only one who will like it.
