about administartion is true.
sql server can handling and more, but you need better and higher hardware in ratio of other database such as oracle.I tested sql server, oracle, mysql, postgresql.
sql server is very slow in ratio of other databases.

in real world max. database on sql server is under 2 TB, because nobody dare using sql server for bigger databases.

most financial institutions using oracle, db2 or sybase.
and for OS using unix.
I don't know, maybe you are MS boy??
