Microsoft back-end stuff doesn't scale. It's fine when your running ten thousand transactions a day, but when you are running a few billion a day, it starts to do funny stuff (like crash a lot, transactions hang, database threads don't close). Besides, I'm yet to find a Microsoft product that doesn't have a serious memory leak (Excel and Access do, the back-end stuff is worse).
