Umm...the article made it clear that Microsoft demonstrated no real interest in integrating MS SQL Server with other things at the University. So, SQL Server and the Craptive Directory weren't integrated University-wide anyway. Didn't you read the mention of "lots of untrusted domains"?
I would gladly toss out MS SQL Server for something like MySQL or PostgreSQL, depending on my specific database needs. MS SQL Server is a piece of crap and proprietary as hell. You use that, you might as well commit to what the University didn't want to commit to--Craptive Directory everywhere--and I don't blame 'em one bit for not wanting to do that.
