1 - Oracle runs on more plateforms than Microsoft SQL Server
2 - SQL statement in Oracle are closest to standard than SQL server
3 - Oracle had a greater part of the SQL C/S market than SQL Server, so
you will find more specialist on Oracle designing. 4 - Larry Ellison had make a 1 million $ bet to anyone can demonstrate that Oracle is under 100 time faster than SQL server And the bet has not been paid yet !!!
5 - the strategy of Microsoft is to make you a prisonner of thoses systems, so that, when your data will be on a MS system, it will ever coste a lot : to maintain version or to migrate... MS is a super, maximized, and optimized making money machine and that's all !
