Performance... MySQL 5.5.15 vs SQL Server 2008
Based on Heavy loads of traffic.. Some different scenario's are:
1. When 'reading' and doing simple inserts

2. When using PHP
3. When using ASP.NET MVC 3
4. When doing alot data processing (logic functionality/writing/joins)
5. On a Windows Machine

I read that MySql has a higher read ratio, but not so much at logic and writing.. I'm really confused on which is more scalable and can handle more rows without bogging down.

Thanks for any suggestions..
