MS SQL Server 2005
Thursday 8th June, 2006 12:33 Comments: 0
I know MS SQL Server 2000 hasn\'t got a fantastic reputation (perhaps deservedly), but the more I look into it, the more impressed I am with 2005. A default installation appears to be very well configured, with many potentially dangerous things disabled (and with SQL Server Surface Area Configuration and SQL Server Configuration Manager it's easy to enable them). Mind you, even though I\'m impressed, I\'m still not very excited by it. You\'d have to be a bit odd to get excited by database software. Most of my friends seem more excited by Crysis, but one look at those screenshots and you can understand why, they nearly look real. Perhaps I\'ll even get myself a new PC and a better graphics card so I can play it. I\'m thinking of holding out until Vista is finally released and getting myself a lovely Conroe (Intel's Core 2 Duo) based desktop - hopefully with Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Unless I buy a laptop instead. Decisions, decisions.
