I'm working at a company that is considering changing from Oracle to
SQL Server 2005. The debate goes on and on and on....

First question - why is your company considering this...? Are they unhappy
with Oracle for some reason...? Is it maybe too expensive...? Oracle is a
huge player in the RDMBS market...

I need some arguments that will help me convince those who are on the
fence to go to SQL Server 2005 for all new development projects. Can
anybody help me with this?

Depends what your company thinks is currently wrong with Oracle...

If it's currently working for you, I really can't think of any reason to
change...
