Re: about Windows Media Center and IIS and SQL

Interesting. Microsoft maintains that anything that works on Pro will work
on MCE, but that is obviously not the case - I've already found two programs
that don't, and I think other MVPs have also found some that don't. I don't
recall anyone finding that SQL 2000 is a problem, so far. Of course the
politically correct answer is "Move to SQL 2005" but that doesn't fix the
problem, only transfers it to another department.

I'll ask some of my contacts and see what they say...
