SQL Server 2008 RC0
For those of you who haven't heard, RC0 of SQL Server 2008 has been released.
If you have played with any of the CTP releases of SQL Server 2008, you'll notice that there are a few differences in the installer - but not enough to cause you to relearn anything.
I loaded it up on my dev box this week, and I am quite impressed with what I am seeing so far. There's a nice new Activity Monitor that is similar to the default view of the Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor - and it even works against SQL Server 2005 servers.
Over the next couple of months, I'll be writing some fairly detailed blog posts on SQL Server 2008 - each of them based on a different new feature. Keep checking back - I hope to profile at least one new feature every other week.
