No SQL Server for Vista
-
If even MS applications, which are supposedly good citizens and don't ill-behave, have problems running on Vista, what about other millions of applications? What do VS 2005 SP1 and SQL Server do that other applications don't?
i'll (wildly) guess that it uses some undocumented (and now obsolete) Windows API calls

Even VS 2005 SP1 (possibly still a couple of months away) won't work fully on Vista. So what have the MS dev tools team been doing for the past year? Presumably matters would be worse had Vista not been late.

I love the smell of too many dependencies on unfinished code in the morning!

I think its more due to all the extra security things built into vista, which effectively enables these aplications to die. and they seem to like dying a lot.

MS should really have implemented their security infrastructure in the first version of XP. Since at that time they moved to common 9x and NT code, that would have been the time to have the big bang and get the pain out of the way.

Their incompetencies is shocking. I like this from the article: "...it might be a good time to update to SQL Server 2005 because it was "designed to take advantage of the upcoming security and performance enhancements" in the new operating systems." So SQL Server 2005 was designed to take advantage of Vista's new features....besides the fact it's not supported on Vista.

This could be, but thinking that SQL Server handles important data and uses undocumented APIs gives me shivers....

Microsoft seems to be going to suicide. I was really amazed about Vista, but all the recent news make me think it would be a problem rather than an improvement. HW requirements, Licensing issues, lacking support for Visual Studio, and now even problems with SQL Server. I don't know.

SQL Server Express seems to work fine on Vista with a slight change on permissions. The plan to update that in their installer for SP2 from what I understand. Was a bit of a shock to see a compatiblity message come up when installing telling to you only run after you have installed SP2 which is not out yet :)

Is this the same Vista for which all our old programs will still work? Riiiight.
