It could be worse.  They could decline to mention Postgres at all (just as they 
declined to mention several other open source DBMSs).  The fact that this talk 
is comparing with Postgres, the Postgres name is getting out there in front of 
more people, even if the presentation itself is biased against it.  Some people 
choosing to watch the presentation may actually use it as evidence to prefer 
Postgres for their needs. -- Darren Duncan
