What features will be supported?
I'd like to know what tools & features will be available. For example it's one thing being able to run the DB on Linux, what about things like Sql Server Management Studio, Sql Server Reporting Services and Sql Server Integration Services?
Not a fanboi for either side, I've developed and supported systems against both Oracle (PL/SQL) and Sql Server (T-SQL) and think both have their merits. Oracle is painful without decent 3rd party tools such as Toad, whereas SSMS is pretty fully featured without resorting to 3rd party apps.
