Enough said. Sqlserver will *never* be a scalabale product as all versions of Windows are non-scalable O/S-es And when will Sqlserver stop having readers block writers? When will Sqlserver run on a real O/S? So when will Sqlserver stop forcing customers to a Microsoft *lock-in*?
Oracle on the contrary runs on almost any platform, including the least-scalable of them all: Microsoft Windows. Why do you think so many vendors run their Mickeysoft code on Oracle?

Just for your recollection:
When did Digital Equipment Corporation launch their first 32-bit O/S? In 1979!
When did Microsoft launch an -albeit crippled, because still for more than 50 percent running on 16-bit DLLs- 32-bit O/S? In *1995*!!!
