Better than hope: analyze. List the features of FreeTDS and of
Microsoft's ODBC driver that matter to you. If the union equals the
intersection, one is redundant, else not.

It's certainly news -- and welcome news, at that -- when Microsoft
offers a Linux driver. It also validates (part of) what we've
been doing all these years.
