Community, Community, Community!
Picture Steve Ballmer doing his “Developers” moment of keynote insanity. (yes the link is to a google property.. Don’t ask me what hardware I’m writing this post on… but the software is Windows at least). Replace it with Community. That’s what makes SQL Server different than a lot of other technology areas.
