Thanks for the update David. I’ve passed on the basic comments (without your name). Mind you, it’s the same feedback we’ve been telling the product group for a while.

I've just set it up on a linux qa server a couple of days ago. Our motivation was mainly financial. Not having to tell our customers they need a windows server and sql server license makes our products better than $10K more attractive. Since our services are in java, our application server can also be migrated to linux with little trouble. Again, making licenses cheaper for customers. It's early days for us though. We haven't confirmed it's suitable. We'll be doing that in the coming weeks. But at this stage we're confident it will be worthwhile.

They’d love to speak to anyone that chose it over SQL Server in production environments. If that’s you and you have time for a 20 minute chat, please let me know and I’ll hook you up.
