In SQL Server 2008, SSMSE does not support scheduling administrative tasks by using SQL Server Agent (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365247.aspx). So in effect there is no support for jobs - they can't be scheduled to run, although obviously you can create jobs using the MSDB stored procs.

In SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, jobs can be created using the MSDB stored procs just as in SQL Server 2008 Express Edition, and they can't be scheduled to run. The support for jobs is exactly as extensive or restrictive in 2008 express as it is in 2005 express, so why does the answer claim you can create them in one but not in the other?

The URL given as explanation is completely useless, it doesn't refer to jobs at all. Also, it doesn't say anything at all about SQL Server 2008, althoough the question (and the answer) both explicitly refer to 2008 as well as to 2005 and the answer makes a claim about them being different in respect to jobs in express edition.

The question and answer are thoroughly misleading, and the reference given for the explanation is completely irrelevant. This doesn't help anyone learn anything, and may even mislead someone into using the wrong edition of SQL Server 2008.

As an earlier commenter said, this sort of thing brings QOTD into disrepute.
