Re: SQL Server Edition + Other Questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Still can't see where on either of those pages does it say that SBS Premium
includes SQL Server 2000 *Standard Edition*. All it ever says is SQL Server
2000 -- not a word about the edition. I can pretty much assume that it's not
enterprise, but looking at the price, I couldn't imagine that it was anything
but workgroup. But then again since they talk about reporting services, I was
tending to believe that it was Standard. All very confusing -- why can't they
just mention it?

Dell pre-installed copies don't come with paper CAL's. I doubt if any of the
OEM copies come with paper CAL's.
