Personally, I hate 2008 all together. Its such a heavy load for a SQL server as it sits. The installer is completely idiotic and the server doesn't have much benefits over 2005. I'm personally a 2000 user due to its simplicity and excel like table format. Tho I have became to liking 2005 as well. Tho either 2005 and 2008 have database size limits. This is why every guide runs SQL 2000. Due to the database backups being over 30gb in size restored. SQL 2005 has a 4gb database size limit, and 2008 has a 8gb size limit. Tho if you striped the databases down like Zombie already has then they would work fine on either 05/08. Why didn't people do that from the start? no clue.
