I'm going on certain assumptions, admittedly, but from what's been described, in this case, MS SQL would be _much_ easier & _much_ cheaper to move to. That is what a good business decision should be based on.

With regard to the more academic argument, of course, there is no question: Oracle is way better than SQL Server. And Microsoft is an evil empire, Bill Gates is the AntiChrist, and there is no hope once you've been assimilated.
