For the record, I am well aware of this. But that doesn't mean there is "choice". That means there is "A CHOICE".

One choice for a robust SQL server is not a choice. It is take it or leave it.

This is the entire point of the earlier discussion. There simply aren't enough Macs in the enterprise today to make them a sensible development target unless you can commit substantial resources to writing only Mac software. Large organizations like MSFT can do it, but the smaller shops that turn out most commercial applications have a tough time with it.

It may not be this way forever, but it has been this way since the day the first Mac hit the stores.
