You might have already received notification of a big launch in your local area for Windows Server 2008, Vistual Studio 2008 and SQL 2008. VS 2008 is RTM’ing right around now and W2008 RTM’s pretty soon. However, SQL 2008 will not RTM until Q3, 2008. MS are holding onto it so they can get it right. Fair play to them. It’s easy to fall into the trap of release now no matter what. They held on with W2003 and produced what was their best Server release yet.
