Again, I have NEVER had a failure of a Microsoft product that prevented or serious impaired my ability to deliver the solution as promised.

Okay, as I tried before -- then a few details about just *one* successful implementation should be easy. If you've never had this happen, and I know for certain that this happens regularly, then you must not have delivered any solutions.

Because this is a *radically* impossible claim. Like claiming you've already built and deployed a production .NET 3-tiered system. Which you also did.

Your use of those statistics regarding SQLServer is even more enlightening. Did you somehow miss the original thread where the other MS salemsman, Bush2k, first posted those? They were so completely debunked that it's become a running joke around here. MS salesmen kill me with the bogus use of statistics. Do you also use that little pamphlet MS salesmen use that has the chart "proving" MS is in the 'innovator' quandrant and IBM, Sun, etc, as following MS?

Yeesh. Well, you sell it as best you can. If fraud is the only way to sell MS products (now that coercion is out), do your best. But I don't know how you can live with yourself.

SQLServer, as an enterprise DB? Never had an MS product fail? Man, even Bush2k can admit the truth about IIS. But a good salesman is not one who refuses to admit obvious product flaws -- that's a shyster.

You're clearly not a developer.
