Since upgrading to a Full Dev version of SQL Server and using Office 2016 things have been humming along rather smoothly. Mind you the system I built is now 'mature' (unlike me, I am just old) and well behaved. The powers that be had been sniffing about some changes though, so I am likely to be back with some questions in the next couple of months.

Given my semi-retired status, plus the obvious fact that, in the words of Michael Corleone, "I keep trying to get out, but they keep dragging me back in," which fact is supplemented by the fact that I'm typically a few virgins ahead of my set of clients, some of whom are still using SQL 2008. I have DVDs of all versions of MS-SQL from 2008 forward. I think I need to install them all. There are at least two possibilities: a) install them in sequence side by side; b) create a VM for each and install only one SQL virgin on said VM. Option b seems, at first blush, preferable.
