I really don't see the point of having another data server running on Linux, as it is developers are spoilt for choice. I am not a fan of anything Microsoft and don't like to see it raise its head on open source products like RaspberryPi and now its attack on open source software. I want to get away from this greedy monolithic destroyer of innovation not embrace it into the open source fold

You also don't plan to touch Haskell, OCaml, async/await patterns, RX, given that they all have influence from Microsoft Research?

I can't tell whether this comment is satire or not.

The Raspberry Pi isn't open source. Broadcom only releases their firmware as binaries.

Sybase had a version running on Linux back in 2003. Used it for a big analytics project. It blew away SQL Server in term of reliabilty. No need for regular restarts.
SQL Server requires regular restarts? I find this hard to believe.

I know, it is a concern, the hardware is as open and there is work afoot to release a completely open source pi, not sure how far they have got

I assume you're anti-AJAX then? (XMLHttpRequest having originated in IE)

I'd be very surprised if Broadcom released the source code for their firmware. It would probably have to be a complete rewrite from reverse engineered specifications, like the original IBM PC BIOS was cloned. Except a lot more difficult as these firmwares are comparatively huge.

You offer a few examples of research developed my Microsoft but don't mention the destruction of an entire generation of innovation by deliberate barrier of entry by obfuscation and theft of intellectual property. The history of Microsoft is well known I don't need to recite what most people already know
I don't know, should I start with Google, IBM, Oracle and Apple examples?
