Why MySQL Grew So Fast

Because Microsoft SQL Server is not competing with yet another database system, they are competing with a new development paradigm. Microsoft SQL Server & Microsoft may have a market cap of half a trillion dollars, but the US economy puts out 12 trillion per year alone. If push comes to shove, it won't matter how big Microsoft SQL Serveris - they will get squished like a bug. I renember when IBM spent billions back in the 80's to push the their database system on the market place to try and squeese out the systems's already out there. It didn't matter how big they were either, they got hammered.
