Has anyone noticed any significant differences in the MDAC for SQL2005 and SQL2008? Has anyone run across any known issues? In the Past we've had issues with this where data retrieval no longer was the same or the order wasn’t the same and things like that when moving to a new SQL version.

I am not sure what you mean but MDAC actually comes with the operating system, that is the reason if you are in Win2003 you need to be in SP2 because it fixes many MDAC issues. So you need to know there is no MDAC in Vista and Win2008 this causes issues with Oracle interOp because Oracle data access was created for MDAC and not the new data access. If you are a developer on the Microsoft platform you could manually reference MDAC in code but I think the issue within the Microsoft platform is fixed but some Oracle require x86 that is 32bits code compile instead of the defined x64 which 64bits platform.
Kind regards,
