Perfect candidate for those too cheap to pay for SQL Server.
Too cheap or too smart?
MySQL is faster, can handle larger tables, is more compliant to newer SQL
standards, is platform independant, histroically more secure, and in summary
far better than SQL Server.
I would say anyone purchasing, let alone using, SQL Server (like SAIC) enjoys
wasting money and does not care much about performance or their data.
