Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Exactly.
In other words, thank the MS-sales-dweeb for his time, and tell him
"bye-bye now", "no-more-sales-for-you".

What exactly is your problem?
Lets say that you are a factory that sells paper.
You need to buy a computer system.
One supplier also sell printers and the other advocate paperless office.
All things being equal, which one will you give your business to??

This came to our DBA team today. I'd appreciate your thoughts. I'm
not a business
guy, just a plain old Apps DBA, but this really pisses me off. Is it
common practice
by MS?
It is important from an Architecture point of view that we understand
all the various approaches to "web services" (also known as "grid
computing" -- see my recent report). Microsoft's dot Net initiative is
their approach to this grand overarching software strategy.
There is a second reason why we might be interested specifically in dot
Net. Subsidiary XYZ earns $xyz a year for us from
Microsoft by [performing certain services], etc. Microsoft has told
our management that one of their criteria for evaluating their vendors
will be how good of a MS customer is the potential vendor.
Specifically, has the vendor bought in to the dot Net strategy. Now
we aren't going to make our global enterprise solutions strategy
decisions based upon that point alone, but it's not something we are
going to ignore either.
Therefore, I support investigating SQL server, Biz Talk, and dot Net,
but I emphasize the word INVESTIGATING.
