    Personally I would not use INTERSECT. It is a relatively new operator in SQL Server and thus could be exposed to some bugs and/or not have all the efficiency "short-cuts" that other key words have had built in over time.

    It was introduced in SQL Server 2005. How long does it take before it is not "relatively new" anymore?
