It seems like ~35% of the applications relying on a DBMS on Windows get by without Oracle or DB2, without all thsoe things supposedly missing from SQL Server.
The right tool for the right job is all I said... Sometimes the big ones are too big.
I talked about pure numbers of applications. It's the many little fish that are too big for access and too small for Oracle. (Note that what I''m saying is as much applicable to DB2 as to Oracle, no pun intended).

Cheers
