Microsoft has released a free version of Microsoft SQL Server called Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition. Their hope is, in part, to compete better for mindshare with with mySQL and Postgress among price concious developers.
It looks to be a fairly capable offering, so I was going to give it a try. Unfortunately, for some bizzare reason, Microsoft’s servers are only delivering it at 30kb/s. Since I chose the “advanced version” which comes with various extra features, that means I’ve been waiting for 40 minutes, and I’ve got another 40 minutes to go.
I could have downloaded the latest version of Postgres with bittorrent and installed it by now.
