No, I won't. We use SQL Server only in some legacy projects, but newer ones are using Postgres or Oracle, running Linux.

We know open-source RDBMS like Postgres, and the ones developed by Unix/Linux vendors like Oracle, are unlikely to drop Linux support anytime soon. But can we say the same about MSSQL? Today we got this CEO... but tomorrow?

It's a risk we're not willing to take, specially when there's no SQL Server feature that we cannot find elsewhere.
