•  We have only one SQL 2005 install here and about 20 servers on 2000. I have been disappointed in several bugs or things broken by SP1 and SP2 and some of the Ent. manager ease of use things for daily DBA tasks are gone or horribly rewritten in Mgt Studio. Mgt. Studio is TOO SLOW. I am very disappointed on how difficult it is to simply set up a job to bring data into a SQL Server table from another RDBMS. DTS was not the greatest but it was simple to use.

    We are in a budget crunch here and I cannot goto Management and ask for $250,000k +  to upgrade all of our SQL Servers to 2005 and then say oh, next March there will be a new version and we have to rebuy SQL Server all over again.
