Re: Nice to see.
It's worth remembering that when Sybase/Microsoft introduced SQL/Server, the only other multithreaded transactional RDBMS were DB2 (on MVS), Oracle & RDB (on VMS) and Oracle (on SunOS). Sybase on Unix & MVS(CICS region) used cooperative multithreading on a single core. It's long overdue, but standard Linux was not always mature enough for the MS low-support packaged model.
The motivation here is going after the data-grid Hadoop market that is entrenched on Linux Servers where MS can deploy PDW
