过去，第一个SQL Server版本支持OS / 2（由Microsoft和IBM创建的操作系统）和Windows。

Now, the new versions of SQL Server (vNext and SQL Server 2017) can be installed in Linux. 15 years ago, it was impossible to think that. Linux and Microsoft were just like oil in water and now, Microsoft loves Linux.

现在，可以在Linux中安装新版本SQL Server（vNext和SQL Server 2017）。 15年前，不可能想到这一点。 Linux和Microsoft就像水里的油，现在， Microsoft喜欢Linux 。

Also, we now enjoy full integration with Azure, Tabular Databases, SSIS, SSAS and more. In this article, we will talk about all these changes and improvements.

此外，我们现在享受与Azure，表格数据库，SSIS，SSAS等的完全集成。 在本文中，我们将讨论所有这些更改和改进。
