I think this is a good thread for us to pay attention to. It provides
insight into the minds of SQL-Server folks. I also think it shows why we
have more luck converting Oracle folk than SQL-Server folk (namely the
Windows->Unix thing).

What I do think is important to recognize here is that we don't have
tools like Microsoft has tools. There is of course an argument that we
don't need them but I can say it would be nice to manage 100 postgresql
machines, 20 which are in HAC clusters, from a single dashboard.

I don't know of any tool that can do that efficiently.
