Recently IE team announced the official name of IE for Windows Vista, "Internet Explorer 7+". While all versions of IE7 are built from the same code base, there are some important differences in IE7+, most significantly the addition of Windows Vista-only features like Protected Mode, Parental Controls, and improved Network Diagnostics and most of these features take advantage of big changes in Windows Vista. What I feel is the naming part will just cause big confusions among the IE users.

I found this wonderful tool info from ScottGu's recent post. I would have to say This Tool Rocks!. The main idea about SQL Prompt is it provides Intellisense style auto-completion for Microsoft SQL Server editors. It will tell you the exact formatting you should use for your SQL commands, while you are writing them and will therefore help you write fast, perfectly formatted SQL statements. SQL Prompt improves the productivity of all SQL script creation. SQL Prompt can be downloaded free until 1st September 2006 and we are providing forum support on the SQL Prompt support forum. A web help file is also available.
