I saw on another orcl thread that starting next week it is going to be hyped as a .com play. This (100% internet) will result in the hyper activity of other .com stocks.

If the problems with the product itself (SQL Server) don't get you, the licensing will. In typical MS forward thinking, you cannot license concurrent use, each workstation that can access the database must be licensed individually. If you have a staff of 5000 but only 100 or so ever access the database at the same time (maybe because your database can't handle a heavier load...), you still license for 5000 users. Nobody in corporate IS wants to deal with such ridiculous licensing. Even Oracle licenses based on a maximum number of concurrent connections to the server. -Michael
