Wired article - mostly MySQL, but also namechecks us

Nothing terribly informative

Tom Rizzo, Microsoft's director of product management for SQL Server, said he 
saw no immediate threat from open source, at least in the database arena.

[One of us should drop him an email]

"Typically, MySQL and other open-source database companies are used in small 
departments," Rizzo wrote in an e-mail. Developers tend to deploy open source 
to save the money or hassle of going through a cumbersome IT procurement 
process.

[Joking aside, this is a key point of advantage for us vs. the 
licence-auditing crowd]

Rizzo cited the key advantage of the SQL Server over MySQL or other 
open-source databases as the "ability to provide innovative features that 
address complex needs of a user."
