Is Native Web Services (SOAP) supported in Express/Mobile/WinXP?
Some people have raised the question, "Is SOAP supported in SQL Express? How about SQL Mobile? I've read in a readme that web services isn't supported on WinXP SP2, but I've also heard that SQL 2005 web services require the HTTP.sys kernel support which is available on WinXP SP2, so is web services supported on WinXP SP2 or not?"
