Head in sand?

I'm done here, if you aren't even going to admit it when you see it in black and white then whats the point in conversing.

For your convienience I've copied some of the text from the link I provided...

Barnes & Noble, the world's largest bookseller, operates 821 stores in 50 states. To help improve its business operations and respond better to customer needs, the company needed new business intelligence tools that could access information faster and provide more detailed reports to managers. The company, which runs Oracle databases for operational systems, decided to deploy a new data warehouse using Microsoft® SQL ServerT 2005 running on an HP Integrity Superdome server equipped with Intel Itanium processors. Today, daily transactional information is loaded faster, reports are available to managers quickly for more insightful business decisions, and the company has a long-term solution that is improving profitability and enhancing relationships with Barnes & Noble customers.

Make sure you watch the first 'associated resource' webcast because it is the people who actually work at barnes and noble stating things like 'why i like microsoft is i don't need to worry about talking to the middle tier etc..., its all done for you, integrated'..... - watch if yourself.
