for purely SQL,  I prefer Postgres by a wide margin.    But, MS SQL
Server comes with a whole infrastructure that includes a lot of powerful
tools, like replication, data extraction and translation, active
directory integrated single sign-on, and so forth.   If you're working
in a pure MS world, with .NOT -er- .NET, etc etc,  its pretty hard to
get away from MS SQL as there are so many tools


the bottom line tends to be driven by whatever the applications
support.   I have one MS SQL database in my lab hosting a program which
only supports MS SQL.   Luckily, the demands on this database are low
enough that i can use the free SQL Express.
