How do we Integrate?

Some background is probably in order. I'm a Software Tester here at Microsoft. I work in the Integration Test Team, Release Release Services, SQL Server. One of my new jobs is to look at how our products integrate. Currently I'm investigating SQL Server and Visual Studio 2005.

My question to you is this:

If you've had the chance to try out Visual Studio 2005 Beta 1 (or earlier versions), what has been your experience with it's integration with SQL Server? What works well? What doesn't? What can we do to improve the integration between our two products?

If you haven't yet tried Visual Studio 2005 or SQL Server 2005, no worries. I'll take your comments on previous versions of Visual Studio .NET and SQL Server.

If you are up to it send feedback to this post, or reply to me directly: jpapiez@microsoft.com (no spam please :)
