Since I'm not going to install SP2 (at least until/if Microsoft actually makes an SP2 that works), I'm curious about what, if anything, of Sedna actually works with SP1.

Did you manage to get Sedna installed without the DBI components? If so, what enhancements do you get?

BTW - My guess is we've seen the last of VFP from MS at least until they actually launch Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 - neither of which is ready for their grand launch next month. They have a crippled version of Server 2008 (no virtualization - the capstone of 2008) that will launch - the useable Server 2008 won't launch intil summer (maybe). Sql Server 2008 won't launch until 2nd half of the year. Microsoft will be in full damage control mode for a long time.
