Yukon licensing a la mainframe
At a SQL Server Yukon presentation I asked if there was a possibility for licensing a la mainframe or on demand. No answer was given.
This would help the very large deployments for things like HR and Accounting were over 50% of the monthly data crunching is done in 4-5 days. It would also help MS compete against DB2(IBM) and Sybase in high end scenarios.
