Just google for mysql "sql server" comparison and you'll get a ton.
The jist of them all pretty much is:
MySQL works great, but still lacks some business features like true
transactions and low-level locking. It's getting better tho.
You might want to look into PostgreSQL for any real demanding
applications, but if you're just doing a small database (under 500
users), mysql works great. Not to say that it doesn't work at a big
scale, it is just missing some features (at least the OES one does, new
MySQL releases have some of these features now).
Can't beat the price either
