Thank you for reading the article, and appreciate your comments.

You said you liked the book, right?  Hey, I reviewed the book's content, not the title  

However, indeed as the title suggests, it was I believe the author's intent to convey the revolutionary changes to the core SQL Server Product itself, away from the notion of being just a backend database engine, to a full-scale BI platform.  Since it was an early adopter and review of the product before its release, it was an introduction to technology and business professionals of a product that has fully matured, expanded, and broke free of the stereotype of that it was subpar to other industry db platforms.  That way of thinking was meant to change with the release of SQL2K5, and conforms with the notion of a "Paradigm Shift"  See definition below.

Think of a Paradigm Shift as a change from one way of thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change.
