Public relations pieces is not what I mean by check into it.

What I mean is that I work about 2 miles from the Microsoft campus. That I have many former students that work there. And that often there is more to any story than what is released. I'll not report back but I'll still check it out.

Did you actually touch SQL Server 2005 in the fall of 2004? Would you have trusted your mother's cookie recipies to it? Give it some thought. Microsoft may be many many things but suicidal is not on the list.
