There should be a low level pricing for home users, so that people who
download oracle may use metalink. I would pay for home support if it was
something like $150/ year for my Linux box. There should also be a low
price for small companies wih <16 users. One should be able to buy a 16
users
license for around $2000. I know a caterer that went with SQL Server because
of the price and development tools availability as well as the atitude of
the salesman
that he turned to. I know that a small CT caterer with 9 employees is not
Merryl-Lynch
or Chase, but it is a business nevertheless and having a database in there
buys a mindshare.
Caterers have to keep track of  the orders, ingredients and schedules and
they do need a
database. At present, there is a condescending attitude toward those people
and that
only helps our favorite company in Redmond, WA.
