Saying SQL Server is a poor choice for anything based on one story about
SQL 2000 is like saying you should never use a web browser because
Netscape 1.0 had its problems.  In the last 20+ years, Microsoft has
made massive investments in improving SQL Server's performance and
scalability, has ported it to Linux, and has added boatloads of new
features.  Whether it would be first choice for a trading system I don't
know, but as Arne said, they run quite a bit of their own mission
critical stuff on it.
