The first beta release of Yukon, the next SQL Server version is due in early June at the TechEd 2003 trade show, but if recent reports are any indication, the oft-delayed product might not hit that milestone in time. If SQL Server Yukon does miss the TechEd boat, it won't be the first Microsoft product to do so: Most of the Office 2003 applications and Exchange Server 2003 were also originally scheduled to debut at the critical June show. But various delays tied to fit and finish work have hampered efforts to complete Office 2003, leading to a cascading series of delays that have affected many other products, including Windows Small Business Server 2003.
