    Curious, with this new direction of SSMS product cycle management, does that mean SSMS will not be tied directly to specific versions of SQL.  meaning, will SSMS eventually drop the associated "year"?  Will it be more SSMS and not SSMS 2012, 2014, 2016, etc.

    wont install on 8.1 too many installer errors, missing registry entries. Tells you to download and apply KB2919355, which is already installed. Good luck getting this to work guys.

    Tried it on two systems, both 8.1. They had SSMS 2014 June release on them and it worked fine. On both, the installation of July release deleted the icon on the taskbar, and no SSMS is to be found. Another co-worker tried it on his machine, an 8.1 laptop, and got too many installation errors.
