  To get the full SQL Server 2005 (ex Yukno) you need to have an MSDN subscription or be on the official Beta Program. You could try having a play with the Express Edition which is the MSDE equivalent. This can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=66120BE8-826A-482A-8264-B1836F28FD79&displaylang=en

  You can also download the BOL for this, these should give you a good overview of the new features and functionality.

  Have fun.
