SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005
Yesterday, the SQL Server team and the Visual Studio team made some significant announcements.
The facts:
- The product name for SQL Server codename ‘Yukon’ is Microsoft SQL Server 2005
-
The SQL Server team is working hard to release Beta 2 in the coming months
- There will be a Beta 3 release in the second half of 2004. Some early adopter customers will go live on this beta and will provide us with additional feedback before the product is shipped.
- SQL Server 2005 is planned for release during the first half of 2005

Any timing on the Whidbey Beta yet?
While I can't tell you when the beta will be, I can tell you that we will be releasing a non-beta-quality build in a matter of weeks. This build won't be for everyone - it will have very limited testing, it may/will have significant bugs, it probably won't install/side-by-side/uninstall cleanly, etc.. But for someone with a spare machine and the patience/time, it will be an opportunity to see Whidbey's progress since last fall.
