How about right clicking on a table and pulling back the top N rows. A lot of times I like to see some of the actual data when I write a query. The only way I've seen to do this in 2005 is to right-click and open the entire table (which if you have more than a couple of thousand rows, starts to get prohibitively time consuming), then edit the query and put a top n clause in it, but by then , you have already waited for the entire table to be returned.

Maybe I'm missing something...
