Microsoft on Monday announced the general availability of SQL Server 2017, now with support for Linux, at its Ignite conference in Orlando. The company first announced its plans for the newest iteration of its database software a year and a half ago. This is the first version of SQL Server to run on Windows Server, Linux and Docker, noted Scott Guthrie, EVP, cloud and enterprise, at Microsoft. SQL Server offers “mission-critical performance and security,” he said. It now has everything built in, including AI, “on the platform of your choice.”
How can anyone believe that Microsoft loves Linux when they are still litigating against it?
