SQL Server 2005 Distilled Review by Daniel Beebe
A Concise and Valuable Read
A well organized analysis, useful for DBA's, developers and managers alike. Eric Brown neatly documents the strengths and usefulness of new features while explicitly identifying limitations and weaker components.
Excellent and thorough summary of the Business Intelligence component including Microsoft's interest in the future of this speciality. By far, my favorite section was "Random Thoughts on Deployment."
While the information does not drill down to the granular how-to-code level, sufficient information is contained to direct an interested developer down the path to more specific examples.
