Oracle is mature, big, reliable, extremely scalable, and runs on many platforms, from PalmPilot to ????. Changing platforms does not require any code changes (this is a big, big plus). There are many more, but these are the ones I appreciate the most.

SQL Server is smaller, much more limited in scalability, it is still working out the bugs, but the biggest drawback is that it has to run on NT, not exactly stable (don't turn the monitor off!).
