SQL Server 2008 Release Pushed Back!

You can read the depressing news here……

The Data Platform Insider

If you read the whoe blog entry it makes it sound like this is a fanatastic thing and I guess you have to put the best spin on things. What depresses me is that I have asked several times at various events about the release date. Especially, sinc eI have yet to see things like database mirroring…but have consistantly been told that this is because of the ‘new’ design methodology…code complete…yadda-yadda-yadda. Basically, that we just need to wait and be patient.
When is Microsoft going to understand the concept of under promise – over deliver?

Cheers,
