"Assumptions and hyperbole"? That MSSQL isn't available as a service like RDS? That tooling and integration that's been building up for decades around PG (or Mysql/Maria for that matter) doesn't exist? These are just facts. I'm sure you're right that MS would be happy to sell support. What I don't see is a reason to care, unless I run in to a Windows app that can't use another DB that I suddenly need to run under Linux. |

You dont think this is hyperbole? Have you actually used SQL Server or Microsoft support before? They do not treat enterprise customers this way and both Linux and MSSQL have plenty of tooling available. There's nothing challenging here.

You're not the target market then. MSSQL has some compelling features and a big ecosystem, adding cross-platform support and a much easier installation process only helps customers with more options for deployment.
