Microsoft Opensource and TYPO3
(c) Olivier Dobberkau
Just stumbled over a Post of Joel Penner in the TYPO3 Mailinglist. He is working on getting TYPO3 better working MSSQL.
<edit>
I think this is great news! Not that i am a Microsoft Fanboy, but this seems to tell me, that Redmond has recognized that TYPO3 is a great CMS and that MS Clients should be able to use this with the Database MSSQL.
(I have corrected the mispelling of Redmond. More Info about this nice City and hopefully a Website running TYPO3 too soon!)
</edit>
I hope that our TYPO3 Community will welcome this Initiave and I am quite looking forward the outcome of this work.
See the Post and feel free to help out: Mailing List.

There is no reason to encourage TYPO3 on Windows except for MS shops that not yet have any other systems available.
IIS is an inferior webserver that misses features which can only bought as third party component (rewriting eg).
Let's not forget that Microsoft is against our spirit of open source and open standards. It is just working on there bottomline: they just need us to keep there business running in the long term.

This happens all the time to me. And the biggest sticking point is usually MSSQL, not PHP or even Apache. There are plenty of places that have multiple existing .NET systems and just don't want to deal with an additional database. I'd rather give them typo3 for their CMS than take a stand and walk away from the business. Right now we usually have to look at using a less rich CMS like Umbraco.
