Although we absolutely need to keep from updating our many SQL 2000 databases
to 2005 versions, I'd like to get our technical users familiar with the new
Management Studio / tools. Is there any reason not to upgrade client
machines to 2005 Management Studio, even though we aren't actually running
SQL Server 2005 anywhere yet? Thanks.
