SQL Server 2008 is ready soon

I noticed from The Register today, that Microsoft is getting ready to publish ("RTM") SQL Server 2008 quite soon. One indication of this is the fact that the new server release will appear in the August price list.

Another interesting thing is that Windows Small Business Server 2008 is about the appear as a Release Candidate soon. Windows Small Business Server 2003 was/is a nice product, and I'd expect the forth-coming new version to be at least equally good. We'll see soon how it all turns out.
