&lt;p&gt;1. does it require SQL 2008 R2 SP1 to work?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. if not required, does it work with SQL 2008 as well?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks a lot!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;so if SP1 contains fixes from CU7, then it&amp;#39;s ok, but if it&amp;#39;s not included then you&amp;#39;ll lose them and they&amp;#39;ll be out as a CU for 2008 R2 SP1&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is a CU7 (under link &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2507770"&gt;support.microsoft.com/.../2507770&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will this (and potentially any further CUs) be included when SP1 is released publicly rather than as a CTP?&lt;/p&gt;
