If it were me, I would create a Drupal DB engine for mssql for the 
version you wish to use.  I would use Ubercart with changes for the 
product data you need.  It is possible to have multiple DB within the 
settings.php file so the missing parts are the mssql support within the 
Drupal DB engines.  Edison Wong has a SF project[1] where he is working 
on supporting more DB engines with Drupal and perhaps you can use his 
work for the mssql Drupal DB engine.
