Never fails, Microshaft never invents anything useful, but steals it from someone else. Maybe Uncle Larry ought to sue Uncle Bill for stealing? What's good for SAP is better for MicroShaft.
Er ... Oracle stole it from MVS. So IBM would get the last laugh. And SQL Server's had a primitive wait interface since v7 - it's only good for the current wait state, but it's there (waittype, waittime, lastwaittype and waitresource from sysprocesses).
