Microsoft has for some time been showing off a very cool SQLServer 7 application called TerraServer.
terraserver.microsoft.com

Explanation:
msdn.microsoft.com

If your house is in one of the areas included in the map (as most of the US is), you can zoom right in and see it from on high.

Warning: This is not for the paranoid (of whom there appear to be a few on this board). You'll go to sleep quaking at the thought of an NSA agent watching you from a satellite with special x-ray vision.

Well said, Punko. We could also do a technical comparison SQL Server and Oracle (row locking, PL/SQL, security, etc.) but that would be very boring.

So you have nailed it. The competition is good for everyone and MSFT will feel some heat, too.

I am long on MSFT, as well. Dumped ORCL months ago.
