It sounds more like a microsoft project to prove SQL-Server can be used
on linux in production,
than an actual case study. Especially the bit about "an immense
reduction in database maintenance requirements".
SQL-Server requiring less maintenance than PostgreSQL? What where they
doing?

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how their new setup holds out, maybe
we can learn something from it.
