The light at the end of the tunnel is bright sunshine!

We have RTM'ed today!

Today, we have released SQL Server 2005 and VisualStudio 2005 and the .Net Framework 2.0 to manufacturing. This means the code is baked, done, shipped,... :-). It will be downloadable from MSDN within the day and available through the other channels in a couple of days.

Follow the link for a teaser for all the cool things SQL Server 2005 will provide!

Thanks for all the feedback and help and see you at the launch events.

On my part, I am gearing up for the launch events in Switzerland and Athens, Greece where I will be presenting in late November/early December.

We are also already working on defining SP1 and the scope of the next releases. So let the suggestions, questions and feedback continue to roll!
