Vista Not Compatible With SQL Server
kiran_n sent in an article by Fortune's Owen Thomas on Vista not being compatible with SQL Server. An excerpt:
"But now Microsoft has a problem. Vista, its long-awaited update to the Windows operating system, can't run the current version of SQL Server. The company is working on a SQL upgrade that is compatible with Vista — called SQL Server 2005 Express Service Pack 2 — but it's in beta and can be licensed only for testing purposes. Microsoft hasn't set a release date for the new SQL program."
What has Microsoft ever done profitably, apart from its office suite and its operating system? There may be products out there, but they don't jump out, do they?
Over a decade ago Doug Coupland - in the book "Microserfs" - pointed out that Microsoft had grown in size at the cost of quality. This is just the latest indicator.

The Zune also has the same problem.
Seems like Microsoft had some comunications issues between it's departments.

If I recall correctly, Bill Gates stated he was trying to emulate IBM back in the '80s. Congratulations!
They've emulated an outdated business model. ;)

I installed SQL Server Express 2005 on Windows XP and had no way to get a query plan. This is completely useless to me, so I uninstalled it again.
Back to the arms of MySQL where these things aren't limited, and maybe I should give PostgreSQL a shot. Btw, I run Oracle at my deskjob, so don't flame me about MySQL, it's still pretty good despite some limitations.
Oh shit, I just realized, I installed the free edition. Well, still pretty useless, especially to people on Vista, which isn't really that great anyway.
