Wait for SQL Server 2005?

I have SQL Server 2000. Because of timing of VS 2005 SQL Server 2005 being released (since they will not be released together), I'm thinking to use that (SQL Server 2000) as my database (till SQL Server 2005 is available - does anyoine happen to know when? which comes out first? VS or SQL?). Any thoughts/suggestions? I have the luxury to wait (at least till end of this year or maybe beginning of next year). I can see that I will gain tremendous amount of functionality if I wait for VS 2005. Will I gain same amount of functionality in SQL Server 2005?What I have heard, the MS Sql Server 2005 and VS 2005, will be released very closed together. But you can't expect it to be released in the beginning of next year, because Beta 2 of VS 2005 will be released in the beginning of next year, so I suggest you to use MS Sql 2000.
