I understand that you're under orders, but why is there such a cloud of secrecy about not mentioning the release date? What's the problem with letting customers make deployment plans in advance? OK, rant over ;-)

I simply don't have a release date as the dates come out fom the product teams, and that's not where I am. So for SQL Server 2008 rc0, I was only told about it the day it was released.

I do agree that you need to plan, and I am really pleased you want to adopt it as soon as possible. So we have said end of Q3, i.e. end of September, so you should plan for November.

If you need anything specific please contact me directly

Hi Andrew,

I attended the event at Manchester and it was great, really enjoyed it.

One question though, you mentioned the powerpoint sldies would be available - would you let us know where we can get hold of them please?

Thanks a lot

Pedro
