Deploying SharePoint 2010 with SQL Server 2012

Microsoft has recently published an MSDN article on installing SharePoint 2010 with SQL Server 2012 to be able to leverage and use the new features and integration capabilities that come with SQL Server 2012:

Most importantly, you need to install SharePoint 2010 SP1 prior to running the SharePoint Configuration Wizard for connecting to the SQL Server 2012 instance.  Of course, if you have read my previous article on SharePoint 2010 SP1 (http://samirvaidya.blogspot.com/2012/03/unable-to-authenticate-using-sharepoint.html), you probably already know that you will have to install AT LEAST 1 Cumulative Update after the application of SP1 to get everything to work correctly.
