Why use this shit over MySQL?

>>538539

>MySQL

Pretty much anything should be used over MySQL.

>>538550

Yeah, but SQL Server?

>>538539

According to them:

>Groundbreaking security encryption capabilities that enable data to always be encrypted at rest, in motion and in-memory to deliver maximum security protection

>In-memory database support for every workload with performance increases up to 30-100x

>Incredible Data Warehousing performance with the #1, #2 and #3 TPC-H 10 Terabyte benchmarks for non-clustered performance, and the #1 SAP SD Two-Tier performance benchmark on windows

>Business Intelligence for every employee on every device – including new mobile BI support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices

>Advanced analytics using our new R support that enables customers to do real-time predictive analytics on both operational and analytic data

>Unique cloud capabilities that enable customers to deploy hybrid architectures that partition data workloads across on-premises and cloud based systems to save costs and increase agility

But it's all proprietary so nobody will give a shit. At the very best it's just trying to spread their product into a growing share of the market. At the very worst they could try to spread their botnet into the GNU/Linux world.

>>538555

"Not being MySQL" is a good enough reason.

To be a bit more serious, SSMS is pretty fucking nice. However, since it's proprietary and expensive as fuck you should usually go with PostgreSQL instead.

Well, while it's proprietary, it may get people to switch from windows to GNU/Linux. Using it on GNU/Linux is better than using it on any Windows OS.

>>538540

He's talking about the saying.

>Embrace

>Extend

>Extinguish

Meaning a plot to destroy their competitor by supporting it, adding to the capabilities, and finally eliminating them. Some on here also believe that is what Google is doing to Linux with Android and ChromeOS.

>not using MariaDB

>Some on here also believe that is what Google is doing to Linux with Android and ChromeOS.

EEE doesn't apply here.

Neither try to compete with "normal" Linux, they have different niches and are not interchangeable. EEE implies luring customers from product A to product B and then breaking backwards compatibility with product A so people can't go back.

Autism is the reason why Linux will never succeed on the desktop

>>538685

>hurr durr waah quoting

Cmon man.

>>538626

Microsoft is also behind the crazy feminist cunts and manginas with their CoCs and PC into FOSS to destroy it.

>>538637

>not mongodb

>>538685

You really think that's going to work here?

>>538744

It got him two replies so far.

>Microsoft is also behind the crazy feminist cunts and manginas with their CoCs and PC into FOSS to destroy it.

They are succeeding.

Same with systemd.

How is Devuan doing?

>>538765

>How is Devuan doing?

Still kind of useless, since they picked a distro for their base that supports other init systems.

>>538741

>falling for the nosql meme

>“We are delighted to be working with Microsoft as it brings SQL Server to Linux,” said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical. “Customers are already taking advantage of Azure Data Lake services on Ubuntu, and now developers will be able to build modern applications that utilize SQL Server’s enterprise capabilities.”

Awesome. Thanks, Microsoft.

Anybody knows how to install Azure Linux Switch on Linux? I want to try it out.

>>538781

Azure Cloud Switch is a Linux distro (used internally).

I wonder how far Microsoft is going to take this shitty "Microsoft <3 EEE" campaign. Just ports of their proprietary spyware to Linux, or will they go further? I doubt they'll go far enough to fork the kernel or produce their own publicly available distro, but aside from that limit I have no idea how far they're going to take this.

>>538765

>>538767

>they picked a distro for their base that supports other init systems.

Try telling them that. They seem to think that some software, like GNOME, having systemd dependencies means that running Debian without systemd isn't actually possible. Honestly, I'm not even sure what the Devuan devs are doing anymore. It doesn't take this long to swap Debian over to an alternate init. Rather than focusing on their initial goal they're starting up a bunch of extra bullshit which means we'll need to wait an eternity before we see the first stable release.

>>538519

Is Microsoft preparing to pull the plug on Windows?

>>538806

No.

>>538767

>Still kind of useless, since they picked a distro for their base that supports other init systems.

I'd rather install A Debian built and tested for sysV than try to configure Debian 8 to not use systemd.

Surely the convenience makes it useful.

When I want a desktop-for-family system I install linux-mint for a similar reason rather than Deb (even though its based on Deb).

What's Devuan like?

>>538831

You choose Linux Mint over Debian just because of its init system?

What do you prefer about Mint's init system compared to systemd?

>>538803

They bought Xamarin, made .NET for Mac and Linux under an MIT license. The worst part is that businesses will eat this up like there's no tomorrow.

>>538990

>businesses will eat this up like there's no tomorrow

That's good

>>538995

Until you have to get a job.

Lol, you losers are just made. SQL Server is the best RDBMS product on thr market for over 25 years and counting. MySQL is so weak, it's even named after a little girl.

>>538563

People who use GNU/Linux start using it. then support is removed and people use windows. This strat has been used by Microsoft over and over again.

>>538626

No, people are not going to use Android or ChromeOs simply because it uses the linux kernel. Google uses it for the same reason gnu/linux distros do.
