I would think that one and only one thing would be of paramount concern to the customer, but then maybe not. Anyway, if you use Sql*Server your tied to the MicroSlop proprietary/buggy/hacker friendly/expensive software stack from then on. Oracle on the other hand will run on Open Source Linux just as well, if not better.

You won't find an unbiased comparison of the 2, it doesn't exist. I'm fairly sure that pcweek used to have a comparison that showed Oracle on top but that seems to have gone.

BTW You should note that hot backups are perfectly possible - indeed the default - in sqlserver.
