Cool - Tracking the Usage of Deprecated Features
I was doing a screencast with the new options to track deprecated features in SQL Server 2008.
I launched a Profiler and I was about to run
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTY('master','IsAutoShrink');
Before I had the time to press Run, an event from Profiler itself was displayed:
"TEXT, and IMAGE data types will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. Avoid using them in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use them."
After a minute the SMSS and Report Server generated a similar warning, and so on. I deleted them and I restart the trace, press run again, run my statement quickly so I can complete my screencast.

Cool
