Wow ... Didn't know my original question was so deep! :)

What I understand to be the case is that: (and this is widely publicized - I was put under severe NDA - then Bill Gates talked about it 1 day after I was threatened within an inch of my life.....) Microsoft has this new, cool DB technology that is being used in: * Yukon - the next version of SQL Server * Longhorn Client for the file system (WinFS) * Future server versions for AD database (Longhorn server, Blackcombe - you figure it out) * Future versions of Exchange for store database * etc, etc, etc. Now, one might this that this is all really suprising and a sweeping change. And, by some rights, it is. But, if you take a look at the store and AD (ntds) database today - they're very much the same; and strikingly similar to SQL 2000. The big change is really the file system. So, to say that Exchange is going to be based on SQL, yeah, that's pretty much true. But, then, so will AD, and WinFS - but SQL will be based on a base technology that is shared amongst the entire server family. I haven't had the DBAs over lately trying to convince upper management that they own Exchange or AD - and that's not likely to happen in the next iteration, either. Do I think that you need to get to know Yukon (which will likely be the first PUBLICLLY available (not beta, not preview) code of the next gen database, ummmmm. Yeah. That might be a really good idea.
