SQL Server 2008 RTM Delayed to 3rd Quarter 2008

Looks like in some cases this launch is becoming The Launch that Wasn't. The tripartite Heroes Happen Here launch event that starts late next month is supposed to celebrate the release of Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Visio 2008. But one of the three masters of ceremony will be late to the party.

According to a Microsoft press release...

..."Visual Studio 2008 went to manufacturing at the end of 2007. Windows Server 2008 is expected to be RTM’d in February. But SQL Server 2008 — the other of the three products Microsoft is slated to launch together on February 27, 2008, in a big corporate event in Los Angeles — is running further behind.

Microsoft officials last year said SQL Server 2008 would likely be released to manufacturing in the second quarter of 2008."

I'd still recommend coming to the launch event anyway. Microsoft throws a great party!
