I indicated that I have been doing a lot of leading-edge ADO.NET 2 data work for a client lately and spoke about connecting to SQL Express in the August VS CTP. I switched the project over to using the full Standard Edition of SQL Server 2005 September and Visual Studio Team Suite RC, and I am generally happier. I am not going to say anything bad about SQL Express but I personally find the full Yukon much easier to connect to and work with. As to the combination, I am real happy so far with the stability, performance and features. Of course, the only bummer is that I have to maintain a Beta 2 for TFS, Indigo, Avalon, LINQ, etc. etc. etc.
