Hi,

Long time ago :( I've been really busy the past month.

Let's see what happened lately:

- SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 was released which is pretty cool. The new DTS is quite amazing, snapshot isolation level and obviously a lot more.

- Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 was release with .NET Framework 2.0. Notice that if you want to install both products (SQL & VS) on the same computer that you have to install SQL first as the .NET framework in the VS package is not compatible with the one included with SQL Server.
