> The engine has progressed *a lot* since it's been created both in stability, features and performance
> Versatile: You can deploy OLAP, SQL databases, Integration services , Reporting for less than 5000$ license price tag.
> The 2008 new resource governor: no other engine gives tighter control over OS resources.
