We have this long article where there are repeated complaints about Microsoft and their products. More than half the article is devoted to general complaints about Microsoft and their products. The underlying theme seems to be a dissatisfaction with Microsoft SQL server and the lack of ease in integrating it across many untrusted domains. The article goes on to state "So Stephen decided to cut SQL Server loose, and began looking at a couple of open source business intelligence suites."
But the "solution" is cited as being Jaspersoft (a reporting tool suite for MySQL) and Joomla (a content management system recently forked from Mambo). No where does the article mention that they replaced Microsoft SQL server with MySQL if they replaced Microsoft SQL server at all! Thanks to Tina's keen reporting and writing skills, we can't tell!
Furthermore, if Microsoft SQL Server isn't integrated enough for your Microsoft Active Directory/LANMan domain environment then what the hell is? Certainly NOT MySQL! Certainly not Joomla! Perhaps Tina could have offered a tad more detail to improve the clarity and justify an alluded to solution that doesn't seem to follow logic.
When can we hope to have some accuracy and some clarity in these articles? Will we ever see substance and quality from Tina Gasperson? We can only hope that Amy Stephen will stop by and provide some in the comments.
