Thanks to all who have contacted me for their interest in the data compression feature.
Unfortunately, data compression feature is NOT available in the just released CTP-5 which is now available on the Microsoft Download Center as SQL Server 2008 Community Technology Preview (CTP) November 2007.
Data compression will be released with CTP-6. Also, Data Compression is an Enterprise Only feature.
