• Great tip David - thanks!

    A couple people have ripped me about the only available on Vista and Windows Server 2008 line. Clearly it will work with Windows 7, but that OS was not even out when I wrote the article. And as far as XP goes, I will need to check the facts because I have a strong suspicion that I was confusing Windows Azure - which definitely does not work with XP - with SQL Azure. There is no reason why it shouldn't. Since I just wiped my XP laptop to install Windows 7, I can't verify, but I'll edit the article accordingly. That's not the kind of rumor I want to propagate.

    It will be interesting to see what SQL2008 R2 does for cloud computing, but I no longer jump into beta versions since SQL 2005 CTPs...I am sure some of you know what I am talking about.
