Using SQL Server Table-Valued User-defined Functions with Exchange Web
The SQL Server Tables and Exchange Web Services sample demonstrates a powerful integration of Microsoft® Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 features. This integration enables you to provide data from both Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server to client applications so that the data appears as if it were stored in SQL Server. As you will see, this creates some exciting development scenarios.

Using OVER() with Aggregate Functions
One of new features in SQL 2005 that I haven't seen much talk about is that you can now add aggregate functions to any SELECT (even without a GROUP BY clause) by specifying an OVER() partition for each function. Unfortunately, it isn't especially powerful, and you can't do running totals with it, but it does help you make your code a little shorter and in many cases it might be just what you need.
