Did you see the picture in the article I linked to? SQL server uses native Windows calls on... Windows... and Linux.

Please stop pretending its a simple Linux application.

Nope, SQL Server on Windows also uses Drawbridge.

Drawbridge is _not_ a subset Win32 API, it's definitely heavily influenced by Win32 but it's not just a thin wrapper. So yep, SQL Server is a second class application on Windows according to you.

And it's not like Drawbridge is something unique. Linux has Graphene ( https://github.com/oscarlab/graphene ) and WebABI and others built on the same principle.

Seriously, just download the preview version of SQL server and see for yourself.
