When I joined Microsoft in 1993, I would embark on a 25 year journey working only on Windows laptops and Windows Server computers. Last October we released SQL Server 2017 including support for Linux and Docker Containers. So here in this blog post, I will show you my journey in taking the SQL Server Mac Challenge.

The less power that’s used, the better for the environment, better for your server costs, and better for you client’s utility bills.
