J.P. - You see, NT is not scalable, never will be. A RDBMS running on NT chokes once you get 100K records or so I beg to differ. I just completed work on an NT based system which currently has more than 800 million records, and provides transaction response time of less than .3 seconds on average. So based on personal experience you are off by a factor of at least 8,000. There are NT based systems running billions of records, using both MSSQL and Oracle. Your post is technically incorrect. There are scaling issues with NT, but not the ones you describe. Aside from that, I generally agree with your post...
