2012 and 2012 r2 seem still bugging. But 2005 and 2008 r2 is the good choice isn't Alpha?
Dont use 2008 but use 2008 r2. Idk why, but everywhere on the internet said r2 is better, same goes to win2k8 , win2k8 r2 is better to. Anyway i try and used sql server 2012 , and the leaked 2012 r2 to, smooth, and working like boss with old ryl files but seem its keep give wrong permission for the dbs( tried to change it but after restart it come back to normal, idk if my server pc is the problem. So i prefer 2005 or 2k8 r2.

Why do you even ask me? I used sql about 3 years ago the last time.
Newer is better for the simple reason that newer version have more bugfixes in it. Bugs are found, then are fixed and implemented in the newer versions - simple. Ofcourse there are sometimes bad builds where they just make loads of bugs themselves, but those usually get patched pretty fast.
I suggest to use the full one not the express. i hope it helps
oh .. but i suggest 2008 the most stable one .. 2012 is still buggy and it on beta test
woodclaw, one suggestion, where to download it? you mean the 2008 R2 so? and 2005 too?
