Windows 7 mag die RTM-Version des Management Studios Express von SQL Server 2008 nicht, also braucht man eine SP1-Version. Die gibt es aber bei Microsoft nirgends runterzuladen, zumindest nicht einzeln.

Recommended podcast: Inside The Net
I highly recommend the podcast “Inside The Net” hosted by Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur. They are featuring mostly technical topics concentrating on Web 2.0 and new trends and sites on the Web. They provide interviews with the people behind those sites and let you peek behind the scenes of the Startups running those sites.
The quality (both audio and content) is consistently high and I enjoy this podcast very much. It’s in my Top 5 list of favorite podcasts.
