I noticed that the SQL Express 2008 R2 does not list Windows XP as a supported operating system. While it seems to work fine, I’d need to be sure that everything is going to work on an XP machine should I deploy R2.
Otherwise I need to deploy SQL Express 2008 SP1.
Anybody have positive or negative experiences with R2 on XP?
