I haven't finalized the pricing yet, but it should not break the bank. I am going to start with SSMS 2012, and if there's a demand to support older versions, I'll do that. I am curious what you would consider as a reasonable price for this? Also, I think you can use SSMS 2012 to connect to older Sql Server Databases. Is there a reason for you to use the older SSMS?

I consult to a lot of different businesses and nobody is running SSMS 2012 -- it's all 2008 R2. I think if you want to target the most developers for SQL, you'll likely find that's by far the most common version. It's a very conservative market -- I probably won't see 2012 until long after the next version is out.

Is it possible to download the SSMS 2012 express version and use that?
