Suspect Mode (no icon in SQL 2005)

In SQL 2005 when a database is in suspect mode there is no obvious way to tell (via SSMS). In SQL 2000 the word "suspect" was displayed (via Enterprise Manager) next to the database, and the respective database icon was grayed out. Why was this behavior changed for SQL 2005 From a disaster recovery standpoint, it is very important to see immediately if a database is in suspect mode.

    A lot of reasons...one of them is SQL Server cannot find the appropriate database files. Another reason is that the files are corrupted.
