Here"s how Microsoft says, “SQL Server 2008 will be late:”
“We want to provide clarification on the roadmap for SQL Server 2008. Over the coming months, customers and partners can look forward to significant product milestones for SQL Server. Microsoft is excited to deliver a feature complete CTP during the Heroes Happen Here launch wave and a release candidate (RC) in Q2 calendar year 2008, with final Release to manufacturing (RTM) of SQL Server 2008 expected in Q3. Our goal is to deliver the highest quality product possible and we simply want to use the time to meet the high bar that you, our customers, expect.”
What? Can you understand that? “A feature complete CTP during the Heroes Happen Here launch wave?” What on earth does that mean?
The guy who wrote this, Francois Ajenstat, ought to be ashamed of himself. Have some guts. Just say it"s late. We really don"t care that much. SQL Server 2005 is fine. As Judge Judy says, “Don"t piss on my leg and tell me it"s raining.”
