It’s great, because it means I can leave VS or SQL Server Management Studio open and acces my work right from where I left off.

However, after installing the latest RC of SP3 on my laptop, I can no longer connect from my  laptop to my desktop.  I can’t find a work around and have downgraded back to SP2 and am happily Remoting again :)
