If they used MS Word to create the HTML for their email then it could have put in the fancy double quotes. I think the feature is called "smart quotes" (in MS Word, the quotes around that would be slanted inwards on each side).
I think there could be some gems in http://202.188.160.140/user/user_nec_download.asp?driver_location=C:\documents and settings\administrator\ntuser.dat :) (replace with %20, etc as appropriate - I was lazy and let IE do the sub for me - no flaming for that please!! :D ).
And NEC work as huge systems integrators in some of our (Australian) government projects... Amazing!
I recently bought and then renovated a cheap house. New door lock purchased came with 4 keys, one of which was already in the deadbolt lock. Upon installing I discovered I could no longer remove the key from the inside, but it still worked, etc. My initial inclination was WTF - stupid key! Then I thought about where the docket was, removing the damn lock, etc, etc... But I quickly came to see it as a feature for the exact WTF you described :)
And #6 - this works, but you have to type the schema name as well, just as it's listed in the treeview. So to go to myTable in the dbo schema (which every table should be in unless you're getting really fancy and prolly causing WTFs everywhere) just type dbo.myTable and you're there.
I do find it a bit annoying and QA was a lot faster for many things, but overall SSMS is a better, more integrated product. Good tip about fixing the New Query bug where it asks for a server...
With #4 above, you can change the options for SSMS to control this I believe. Same with #5 - you can hide that summary window (makes it start faster too!).
I find that when I am using the keyboard to navigate through the tables & their columns on the left it can be annoying cause in QA, being single threaded, you could key ahead down, across, down, etc and get through the table name, "columns", etc. In SSMS you cannot do this as (I think) the loading of columns, etc is done in a background thread so the keyboard strokes skip over what i want. Will get used to it though :)
