UNICODE COMPRESSION

No compression for Unicode data in SQL 2008

In R2 Unicode compression can yield space savings of up to 50% depending on the type of data stored

Uses SCSU (Simple Compression Scheme for Unicode Data), a standard compression scheme for Unicode data (details at http://unicode.org/reports/tr6)

Only nchar/nvarchar and not nvarchar(max) yet....

Lightweight install of Windows Server 2008/R2Great for IIS7.5 (now supports asp.net)But not for SQL Server 2008
