The Register has an interesting interview with the vp of Microsoft's SQL
Server team:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/21003.html
Near the end he gets specifically asked about "Red Hat Database" as a
competitive threat, and he responds that he doesn't think anyone can match
their "investment" of "800 professionals" to work on SQL Server.
Now I'm sure he didn't mean it to sound this way, but what I conclude from
that is that you fellows are all an order of magnitude or two more
productive than anyone at Microsoft :-).
