That doesn't mean we actually have to support Microsoft in making MSSQL 
only accessible from Windows… Also there is a large difference between 
running a vm with a database server and running a vm (read: jenkins slaves) 
to execute tests.

If Microsoft wants to use/support Django I guess they could easily publish 
a Python db-api 2.x driver. I'll happily code the Django part if the 
prerequisites would exist (assuming MSSQL actually does work ;))…
