I agree with the above except that Data Bases have extra importance because most companies will try to migrate data to one platform. A MySQL win, with no pressure to move, converts a whole shop. Once you have some of your data in MySQL the 0$ expansion cost will eventually suck up all your DB needs.
If there was a free open source Access they would really be in trouble. As it is with two databases to choose from -- one free, one relicensed every two years what would you take?
