While I think just about every IT expert out here agrees that the first
commandment is Thou Shalt Not Install Beta Software in a Production
Environment, the corollary to this would have to be that if you're naive
enough to install a beta of anything on a production machine, you should *at
the very least* least back it up. Even if you're installing an RTM version
or Service Pack you should take precautionary steps in case something breaks
and you have to roll it back.

I have to say though, the reduction of installing this software to a simple
38 to 1 against, all-or-nothing proposition is a little sobering, to say the
least. (Assuming the installation was an American installation and not a
European installation where the odds would be 37 to 1 that you'd fail,
correct?)

Think I'll stick with BlackJack... and delaying new software purchases until
at least the first full service pack is released.

Thanks,
Michael C.

I really do not think this is the right group to post your frustrations over
the
SQL 2k5 Express beta...

Hi "Lars",

I have *absolutely no* frustrations with the SQL 2k5 Express Beta; probably
because I'm not so naive as to install beta software on production machines.

I don't think this is the right group for *you* to respond to a post you
*obviously* didn't bother reading; and *obviously* aren't familiar with the
previously posted threads on the topic or the subject matter. Feel free to
re-read the *entire* post and possibly some starter material to figure out
what's going on around you before you respond blindly to a *subject line*.

Regards,
Michael C.
 
Please don't make posts about silly future versions that only you and your internet buddies have got.

"have got" is incorrect.

Use "and your internet buddies have" to denote current ownership.
Alternatively, use " and your internet buddies have gotten" to denote some
past action.

In UK English he's right although stylistically I'd prefer your first
suggestion - drop the 'got'; in UK English 'gotten' is not a word at all.
Personally, I was wondering who the 'internet buddies' were.....
