However that's subject to change. You must be know about this feedback.
In a feedback I saw that IntelliSense used to work in earlier CTPs (that I
did not check this then...) and this feature is removed somehow in the last
releases and an MS guy responded in that feedback that they may add this
feature again if people votes enough. I can't remember exactly where I saw
this one, sorry.

As you can read Eric's latest comment, it is not subject to change, at least
for the RTM release... in spite of all of the votes that I and others helped
encourage, the business decision was to support 2008 only. After 2008 is
out, it becomes less and less attractive over time for them to add the
support back, both because it does not exactly motivate people to upgrade
the servers they manage, and because there is still a lot of core work to do
(e.g. add support for other DML operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
MERGE etc). I am not entirely happy about this, but these are the
trade-offs they face...

And, there are plenty of tools available that will do this. SQL Prompt
from Red-Gate is one of the better ones, as well as SQLAssist.
If you want one that will work with multiple databases (Oracle, SQL
Server, etc...) I would recommend SQL Assistant.
SQLAssist is less than $50 (last time I checked)
SQL Assistant is ~$150
SQL Prompt is a lot more ;)
