MySQL

Yeah man. How comes that MySQL, primitiveDBMS without ACID is successful, while PostgreSQL, real DBMS beating by features and quality commercial ones, is a looser. Is it because the success is for primitive products (like PHP and MySQL) or the real success of really useful open source products (PGSQL and Python) is hidden in secret? Or is it possible that Microsoft dollars are behind such irrational success specially to highlight the worst part of open source software?
