Not much of an Oracle guy, seems cumbersome and complex (unnecessarily). That being said, it's a more mature product and I'd guess it will scale better than SQL Server. However, 99% of people that use databases don't need the scalability. Some do, most don't. My experience is that SQL is a much simpler and smoother product to administer and work with. You can screw it up and you need some knowledge, but it is better and cheaper.
On the flip side, it has a bunch of nice features that make it better, IMHO, than MySQL.
