You can set the options to comment in the options pane - set it back to the old shiftctrl C if you want.
Oh - and btw - to UNComment (or Restore) text, try shiftctrl+R...
Now, how do we adjust the size of the results pane (ctrlB...?)
I say, unless you are using SQL 2005, don't switch. The new tools got a TON of bugs. What happened to the "script database objects" feature? I gotta do it all separately per object now? Why does SSMS not save my password change when I change the password for the login on SQL Agent Properties / Connections? Why does SSMS use so much damn memory on my machine, and leak memory too?
My advice: Stay with EM until Microsoft fixes SSMS a bit more. SSMS is a powerful tool, just not a quality powerful tool.... at least yet.
There's a button in MgmtStudio as well, but you need to customise your toolbar and add it. It's something of a large button, and it says quite clearly "Hide Results Pane".
As to bugs, our DBA has put the kybosh on using it with SQL2K databases/servers, due to it's not being designed for/tested with SQL2K. I can see some merit in this thought.
For me though, Management Studio was just one of the Three Amigos, along with EM and QA. I used the tool best suited.
S.
One thing I do not like is that you cannot create a new SQL2K DTS package using Management Studio.
Other than that I am slowly getting used to the new tool.
