>AFAIK default is case insensitive. However, when I tried to install SQL Server 2005 (at if I recall correctly the same happens with SQL 2000) it offers me collation Russian by default. I have no idea why it made this decision, because I have Windows XP English and only have Russian installed as a second language.

I believe it's been confirmed in the other message that this is case insensitive as the default. I'll have a brand new installation by mid week with that default on.
