In the current release you can have all the standard transaction isolations and that includes writers blocking readers - funnily enough I did a webcast demonstrating and explaining the feature 2 weeks ago.

Be realistic - other vendors do the same, just take Oracle and its poor implementation of the ANSI SQL standard.

Can you back that up with statistics? - no, I didn't think so.

Bit of a price and availability differential. I remember programming a DEC at school - there was just one in the whole school, and that was at a time when Sinclair was launching his ZX 81's. My point, hardware and OS where available but at massive cost, Microsoft simply do what they do best - they opened up the market and made prices fall - so we can all now use computers instead of those companies with enough dosh to buy the kit.
