Sql Server 2005 more secure than Oracle?

Interesting reading.  I'm not a DBA, but I find the discussion very interesting.  One thing that I would like to know, and I may have missed it elsewhere, is, who paid for that article?  Was this a truly independent article with no one having paid for it?  Perhaps I am getting to cynical.

I asked a similar question on a popular news site after reading about this story, especially since it's well known that MS has to approve any story concerning their software.

The answer is simple...no one paid for it. It's a story about security flaws. A simple trip to Secunia or other similar security sites will confirm what is outlined in the pdf, therefore even if the story had been unfavorable towards MS, there is nothing that could have prevented them from allowing it to be published as it's based on public domain.
