"Through Microsoft's contribution, ADOdb can now communicate natively with SQL Server's database driver, the company said."

So now if your company has a PHP website with a M$SQL backend, it will cost less to renew your SQL server license for another three years than to re-code your website to MySQL, and that includes opportunity cost for lost business, which will be low since PHP now runs ADOdb effectively.
