What's New on the SQL Server Tech and Dev Centers - 7 April, 2008

Greetings from the damp and cold Pacific Northwest, U.S.!

Today, 41 degrees F and raining. So much for Spring. (But the moss is looking gorgeous!)

It's the first Monday of the month, and per usual, we have a new monthly theme, Trusted Data Platform. You can learn about the features in SQL Server 2008 that make it a more secure place to store your data.

We've also added twelve new MVP blogs to our blogs page - are there any other blogs or SQL Server web sites we should be listing in our community area?

SP2 is important, but we thought it was time to change our featured download for SQL Server 2005. If you have legacy data or need to corral Access databases that have popped up in your organization, you'll want to explore the SQL Server Migration Assistant for Microsoft Access.

Here's hoping the Spring has come to you in the Northern Hemisphere, and that Autumn is warm enough to go to the beach in the Southern.

Cheers!
