SQL Server doesn't even run on Windows much less any other platform... Bwahahahahahaha... sorry...I got carried away... -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 2:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L On which unix boxes does SQL Server work? I don't want to replace all of my AIX, HP-UX and Solaris boxes with NT. I'll consider SQL Server as a replacement as soon as it starts operating on Unix. Microsoft operating systems have spurned the whole industry trying to protect them from viruses, which makes them completely unsuitable for a central database of a Fortune 500 company. Does SQL Server work on Linux?

The 4 cd's are available (almost completely) as links in: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/oraclekit Any comments?
