It was recently brought up to me that while this blog is listed as a general DB blog, I tend to write more about MS than any other vendor. I agreed that that was the case. Then the person asked why, since there was so much other DB news out there. To that I simply replied... well, MS is the only vendor who keeps me informed of everything they do (almost). Oracle, IBM, Sybase, MySQL, etc... they never tell me any It was recently brought up to me that while this blog is listed as a general DB blog, I tend to write more about MS than any other vendor. I agreed that that was the case. Then the person asked why, since there was so much other DB news out there.To that I simply replied… well, MS is the only vendor who keeps me informed of everything they do (almost). Oracle, IBM, Sybase, MySQL, etc… they never tell me anything. I get press releases from MS, I get training materials from them, I get books, I get all kinds of info all the time. Apparently MS wants me writing about them.So anyway, it’s no big mystery. I write a lot about MS because they’re making sure I know what’s going on. And nobody else does that. I do get other vendors writing me about stuff they think is interesting, and when our interests align, I write about them. But I can’t write about something I don’t know about, and I don’t have time to go beg all of them to give me something juicy.
