"Back in my university days, when Netscape was the latest web browser on the scene and the Pentium MMX was the power user's processor of choice, UNIX was part of my everyday life. Since graduating, my chosen desktop operating system has been Windows of some variety. This is partly because it was the most readily available consumer desktop operating system and also because it served me well for the most part."More here. In other Ubuntu news, Automatix2 for Feisty is released.

I'm curious -- what is it you like about SQL Server? Is it the server itself, or simply the admin tool?
Also, as to the development environment, if you are doing .Net, then yeah, VS.Net is the way to go. Microsoft's language on Microsoft's tools on Microsoft's platform is the intended design. But, there are a number of excellent IDEs for other languages, such as NetBeans, KDevelop, Anjuta, Eclipse (although, I personally don't care for Eclipse), etc.
