Current environment: I'm currently running windows 7, MSSQL 2008, oracle 11, developing in java, using InelliJ idea as IDE and office 2010.

Please, no "switch to Linux" comments. I'm quite happy with the windows setup.

So - Yes? No? Why?

Can big IT (enterprise IT - let's say 100K PCs and upwards) be convinced to deploy "non-standard" databases - not Oracle or MSSQL (or even mySql or PostgresSql) - but mongoDB and voltDB and neo4j? What hurdles are there to overcome and how one is to do that?

Would also love to hear success (or failure) stories and see blogs and articles - not from the DB vendors though, I take that as marketing material, not facts.
