It looks like they also offer a premium version when you PayPal them $5 or more
> All Contributions Of & Above $5, Are Eligible For A Private Download Link To PrathamOS Full Edition. http://www.prathamos.com/Index.html#connect
Seems weird that this doesn't seem to be advertised otherwise, or include a description of what's in the premium edition.

Azure does not provide a managed postgres service. However it does have Azure SQL[0], which is based on SQL Server.

One of the main drivers of revenue for Microsoft is Office 365, with 23.1 million subscribers[0]. Along with Azure, MS runs some of the largest web services around. Most developers at MS don't necessarily work on these products, but to say that all the devs working on them use a simple .NET stack + SQL Server is discrediting a lot of work that they do.
