Good article, though leaves me wanting to know more :) (I haven't been keeping up that closely w/ SQL Server 2008).
Any idea if these features are available when connected to 2005 (or earlier) databases?
Thanks.

Yes, the activity monitor and index hint are available when you are connected to a SQL Server 2005 instance.
Intellisense, (which I have not mentioned here) was available earlier, but in RC0 it has been removed. Intellisense will work only on a SQL Server 2008 database.

Managment Studio 2008 Activity Monitor is connecting to SQL 2008 and 2005 Servers, but it is giving me a message that it does not support SQL 2000 servers despite Managment Studio allowing all other functions on them.
Is no ability to monitor activity of SQL 2000 servers with the 2008 Managment Studio or is this a problem with RC0?

Thanks for the INDEX HINT, just used it, pretty cool
I am sure there are other features we'll find gradually in SSMS 2008
still getting used to the 'Activity Monitor' versus the 2005 Activity Monitor

An average article. From the title I expected much more than brief mention of two new features. And no, the splash screen doesn't count.
Pasting screenshots of cool features does not make a cool article.

Nice article. Its worth pointing out that (at least so far as I can tell) the very nice missing index feature in the graphical execution plan only works when connected to SQL Server 2008 instance. Turning on the XML showplan feature though will still give you the text (or technically xml) version.

The example in the screenshot is taken from a SQL Server 2005 database. So it looks to me that it works for SQL Server 2005 as well.
