I hope you're right about this.... >>Really big data base users are not only not waiting on MSFT, they wouldn't have their data base software as a gift. And it will be some time ... years ... before they change their minds. Maybe one year, thats my prediction unfortunately. A few months ago someone rattled off the names of all the dbms development heavyweights that msft has hired in the last 2 years. Apparently they started by absorbing the old DEC oltp dbms architecture group, which was headed by Jim Grey (Mr. 2-phase commit protocol, remember?) and that was their starting point. I don't know when this team will release a dbms kernel, but when they do, its gonna be an A-list product. Michelle
