  • Article

 

The RTM date of SQL Server 2008 has slipped out to Q3 of this year.

See this official blog post at The Data Platform Insider.

 

Extract: "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. This does not in any way change our plans for the launch"
