What do you dislike about Microsoft SQL Server?

Pretty much i like the microsoft sql server a lot. But i have seen some compatibility issues with the various versions of sql server. when working on an application using one particular version of sql server as its back-end data store, you are pretty much locked to that particular version of sql server which is provided by the vendor of the application.
