Microsoft's corporate customers may have another reason to take their time upgrading to Vista. The latest one is that the current version, Microsoft's SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1, released in April 2006, <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2049954,00.asp?kc=EWNAVEMNL110206EOAD">won't work with Vista or with the related Longhorn server.</A> These two operating systems will only support SQL Server 2005 SP2 "or later when it becomes available," according to Microsoft's SQL Server support Web pages. But there is no indication on these sites of how soon it will deliver SP2 or whether it will deliver the service pack at about the same time Vista and Longhorn are released.
