I think WITH was a reserved word in TSQL for SQL 2000 but not in the context of a CTE (Common Table Expression) which is where it is probably most commonly used from 2005 onwards.

The specific page for Reserved Keywords in SQL 2000 is Except the Comments box has been upgraded and you won't be able to click on the link, and I can't put in the HTML that'll take you there. *sigh*

WITH was used for evil things like "WITH (NOLOCK)" (still can be too).
