Microsft says that SQL Server isn't supported until SP2. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/sqlonvista.mspx "In an effort to provide customers with more secure products, Microsoft Windows Server "Longhorn" and Microsoft Windows Vista will only support SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later when it becomes available." At this stage they have released SP2 Community Technology Preview (CTP) but there is no indication of when the actual SP2 will be available. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913089 -- Stuart
