SQL Server 2008 - November CTP Release
I know that Visual Studio 2008 is getting most of the press today for releasing, but there was also a big CTP release from the SQL Server Team as well. The November CTP was released today in all its glory. This is a big release and there are a bunch of new features included in this release.
The list of features in this release is long, so if you are looking for a quick view of the features included the Connect Site has a nice graphic with the list of features by CTP Release. You can download the November CTP via the Microsoft Download Page. You do not have to be participating in the SQL Server Connect CTP program to have access to this CTP, although registering for the program will get you notifications for CTP resources such as White Papers, Webcasts, Chats, and other CTP goodness along with participating in the forums and giving feedback to Microsoft about the CTP.
Looks like I know what I will be doing this Thanksgiving!
