The decline will not be immediate, it will take some time, notably Apache distributions like XAMPP and WAMP will have to offer users alternatives to MySQL, as most developers use these packages, instead of installing products independently. All is not lost, the Open Source community has plenty of options. There are two well established alternatives to MySQL: PostgreSQL and Firebird. Both have large established communities, and support of major corporations. All of these will become the next MySQL
Microsoft really does have bad taste by trying to kill firefox and trying to kill the second player like iphone they even don't dare to mention 1st place runner:Android

To understand why it failed you must understand what is wave : groupware
Nat was in town, and he stopped by to say hi and chat, and he said, "So we've got this big pile of code we're going to release, and we're going to build an open source wave/groupware system! It's going to be awesome!"
And I said, "Jesus Mother of Fuck, what are you thinking! Do not strap the 'Groupware' albatross around your neck! That's what killed Netscape, are you insane?" He looked at me like I'd just kicked his puppy.
and it was written in an "enterprise language" like cobol err Java and in gwt , they practically murdered java script with that crap and the format for transfering wave data:xml documents hint it looks more like exchange system and if you wonder why it failed? think sharepoint and it was addopted by eterprise type systems like : novel , sap and that was the target i think people who receive messages into a big inbox and where they should reply to support messages for example
i will install pygowave http://pygowave.net/ at my work place http://reea.net/ and i think it will make a a good platform for collaboration : think one big #irc channel where documents and messages can be shared (but from browser) , if i think well maybe skype is better on that
ps: reinventing the mail system is a bad idea when you already have....gmail (that sucks too but for that i will write another episode) and it was a bad idea that i was alone in my wave i was expecting something like facebook with hundreds of friends and invites and lot's of spam from the apps but it was just an empty enterprise exchange type system
funny shnitz this is what google wave https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1 told me today in my inbox https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1 What do you want to master? I want an Free as in freedom wave something like http://identi.ca/ alternative for propietary twitter system in fact you can contact me on the pygowave , it's open it's free and you don't need an invite you just join the system mariuz@pygowave.net
there is only one thing they shuold scrap from the browser to make it speedier svg and all that is xml related, all the interface should be painted in opengl with data residing in json format, something like QML
I would replace the oracle/mssql (+windows) monsters with better alternatives like Ubuntu/Debian (or insert your preferred distro ) with an open source SQL database like Firebird , postgresql or mysql
seems that cobol has some good frameworks that could compete with rails and growing django it's supported on modern web type terminals VT100 compatible
I'm already sick of innodb and myisam issues also falcon and maria are in alpha/pre alpha stages maybe it's easier to write an new engine for an stable db like firebird/postgresql I will post my progress on this page http://mapopa.blogspot.com/search?q=mysql
ahh by the way firebird engine is stable for more that 20 years (triggers/transactions are normal things from that time)
I forgot the clamav livecd - with it you can scan the windows partition and find most of the malware and actually you can remove them even if they are in system restore
usually i install wubi and with it you get an os without spyware also you escape the win32 virus named microsoft (called by noname antivirus win32.WindoZe)
SQL Server 2012 To Bring Some Price Hikes
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2012/03/23/sql-server-2012-price.aspx
No wonder there so many odbc install questions related to firebird sql
ps : customers are very sensitive to price hikes
One word vote with your pocket , buy AMD and ATI , avoid the NVidia scammers until they publish full specs and gpl2 Linux driver

maybe is time to switch to real database : Firebird SQL , PostgreSQL
http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/firebird_gain_mysql.html
Ubuntu app store is waiting for them
why don't they use http://www.emdebian.org/ instead of reinventing again and again yet another distro
It was pretty dangerous for microsoft to have sql in the webbrowser : who would buy let's say access, sql from their shop then
http://html5doctor.com/introducing-web-sql-databases/
why don't they use jruby
http://www.jruby.org/
or jython ?

inventing yet another languge when there so many to choose from doesn't seems to be too smart
i can give only one failure go language that is now falling from top 10 if you watch tiobe

also another failure is Groovy used with grails:

That is why the title for the next article makes more sense : Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets

That is why minitube doesn't work for the moment , and it gives an mp4 file error
anyway i will wait the new release http://twitter.com/#!/flaviotordini/status/12924187333107712
Time has apparently named Mark Zuckerberg the "Person of the Year". You know who else was once a Time "Person of the Year"? Hitler, in 1938.

These days it's easy to build a simple FLAPS Firebird+ Linux+ Apache+ Php+ SSL style or FUNP Firebird + Ubuntu+Nginx+Php/Python/Rails virtual server
https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=ddzwj4jw_112ddwrd52h
You can buy a simple vps and install what you want there (Firebird php , rails , ...)
django
I give you some options but there are more to choose from
http://www.linode.com/
http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix_vserver/vserver-produktmatrix/
It's quite easy to install and start on ubuntu for example
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.5
(i didn't included howto connect and howto secure the server)

They need it to reboot the microsoft cloud farm servers and to reinstall them (one employee per server)

Google does have stupid geniuses too

you just join the system

I would replace the oracle/mssql (+windows) monsters with better alternatives
like Ubuntu/Debian (or insert your preferred distro ) with an open source SQL database like Firebird , postgresql or mysql
i would really need a 12 core monster for my servers and with Firebird Classic or with SupperClassic
http://www.sinatica.com/blog/en/index.php/articles/firebird-superserver-classicserver-or-superclassic
seems to be better on my netbook (smaller and faster anyway)
