MS doesn't always eat its own dog food so to speak. For example, they have
never used MFC to build their applications. Unless they ported hotmail
recently it has been on UNIX since they acquired the company. MS often
advertises for Oracle DBA's to help run their systems. If they wanted to
learn more about Oracle to improve SqlServer they wouldn't need an Oracle
DBA to do that.
