Wow that would the first time that an older version of SSMS can connect to a newer version. Interesting.
No, SSMS 2005 SP3 can connect to SQL 2008 as well. And good ol' Query Analyzer can connect to all versions.
Thanks for the clarification Erland. Makes sense really, it is still just a connection.
