by Earlier you posted the following info:
---------
Actually, we are investigating a fix that may provide a workaround that can
be shipped in SQLServer SP1. It will not fix the general ntext variable
problem but the sp_xml_preparedocument and ntext in column issue that we all
love to hate.
So please watch this space (and cross your fingers that we don't run into a
problem that will make it impossible to include it in SP1).
----------
I checked the latest SP and there is nothing there relating to this issue.
Am I right?
