MySQL on Windows - Good Idea?

Posted by Cliff on from the sensible-use-of-resources dept.

mikeballer asks: "We currently run our website from a shared hosting environment, with ASP and MS SQL Server. We will be moving to a dedicated host, and to save money, we are considering transitioning to MySQL while remaining in a Windows environment. I had read the Windows-vs-Unix section of the MYSQL documentation, but what is Slashdot's perspective on the performance of MySQL in a Windows environment?"

    What is it with you Windoze morons who like to misappropriate open source programs for your fucking businesses? I'm thinking of things like Apache on Windoze, Firefox on Windoze, etc. Why take a great thing and corrupt it with Micro$oft's broken shit? Is it just too hard for you fucktards to use Linux?
