They did rewrite about everything overtime but concept like user mode 
scheduling that Sybase does, is still there, and pretty well developed. Oracle 
did an attempt in one of the first 10gR1 patchsets on Windows (x64,IA64) I 
think, but it doesn't come close to what SQL Server does...

If MSFT is being honest, they claim there is no remaining Sybase code in SQL 
Server 2005. FWIW.
 
There may not be anything recent on Sybase, but maybe if you searched for 
comparisons between Oracle and MS SQL Server you might have better luck. MS SQL 
is based on an earlier version of Sybase, but I believe that since then, both 
have independently added row-level locking, which Oracle had long ago.
