Not all ASP.NET developers limit themselves to MSSQL, there are .NET
drivers for many open source dbs and it is easy to use these other dbs
from .NET. I would say that ASP.NET developers who want to move toward
open platforms should consider starting by switching to an open source
db, then try the web server with Mono

My project, mojoPortal can use MS SQL, MySQL , or PostgreSQL
