Whew! (Or, what a global web launch looks like.)

Yesterday was nuts around here as my team worked to execute on a global web launch to support the SQL Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 worldwide launch. Local launch events are happening worldwide for the next month if you'd like to pick up some launch SWAG and get up close with these products.

Across all three product sites on TechNet, MSDN and WWW:

• 1,840 pages were pushed live
• 762,380 words were translated
• 11 languages supported

Add in the hundreds of people who had a part on the product, site management, web production, localization, and project management teams, and you can imagine what quality control was like yesterday. :-)

("What about Italian?" "The Russian pages need a quick fix!" "Who has the German pages checked out for editing?" etc., etc.)

Anyway, we made it, and my team had a well-earned company-provided lunch yesterday to celebrate. Thanks to everyone who helped with SQL Server!

So, how did we do? Do you feel like there is enough information on the Microsoft web about these products? Any glaring gaps?
