It has been a little quiet around here lately!  Too quiet!  Why?  Well it is summer and even IT Pro Advisors get holidays, but we are also in full planning mode for the next set of tours that are kicking off in September.  I heard this little bit from the WWPC and just had to share it!

February 27th, 2008 is the worldwide launch date for for Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.  I am not going to use the phrase biggest launch in Microsoft history but....... 

Now we haven't announced our dates, cities or plans just yet - that will come in time - but I did want to get something out there now because....

We want to hear from you!  Rick and I introduced you to Longhorn Server (that's another 50 cents!) Windows Server 2008 on the Future of your Server Room tour last May. You have access to the Beta 3 bits. If you are a TechNet Plus or MSDN subscriber - the June CTP bits have been released for DL as well.

So have you downloaded them and tried it out? Have you had the time to play with it yet? Are you excited about certain functionality that you think will solve some issues you have been having lately?
