Amen - This just seems like a pointless Microsoft bash again. Besides developers who want to test in an OS evironment and maybe a small amount of people who are using the Express Ed. ala MSDE this have no effect on enterprise grade deployments of SQL Server. Come on people - lets RTFA and use some common sense. Don't spread the FUD.
My company installed these waterless urinals from Falcon about 5 months ago. They were installed as a part of an initiative to satisfy the US Green Building Council standards for our office building. The filters claim to be good for 3000 uses, which brought many jokes about having an odometer instead of a flusher. They urinals work fine and there is no smell as long as the filters are replaced when needed. If you do buy one of these, MAKE SURE you get extra filters as it can be quite an unpleasant experience when they run out. The smell become increasingly apparent and the urine tends to back up and not drain away as quickly. Other than that, I have no complaints and if it's helping our environment in some way I don't see where it's any less convenient than a flushing urinal.
