I didnt think this would be a huge draw on the news page but since there seems to be a thread regarding PostgreSQL in this forum, I thought there might be some "local" interest. - Trip

Within the past two years, Oracle, IBM and Microsoft have all released freely available versions of their flagship database servers, a move that would have been unheard of just a few years ago. While their respective representatives would argue the move was made in order to better accommodate the needs of all users, it's fairly clear that continued pressure from open source alternatives such as MySQL and PostgreSQL have caused these database juggernauts to rethink their strategies within this increasingly competitive market.

One can speculate that many of the reasons for not considering its adoption tend to be based on either outdated or misinformed sources.

I like that - thanks for posting the pointer.

I've even bookmarked it to use on some doubters in my company!
