Office 2007 Microsoft finalizes SQL Server 2008

Microsoft officials announced at TechEd South Africa on August six that SQL Server 2008 has become launched to manufacturing.Microsoft officials said last month to expect the product on August cost lists. SQL Server 2008 is out there as of right now to MSDN and TechNet subscribers and will be on the market for evaluation download on Aug. 7,Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, firm officials said. SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server Compact editions are obtainable for absolutely free download currently, also.The ultimate delivery date of Microsoft;s most recent database release continues to be postponed extra than when over the previous few months.Meanwhile, SQL Server Information Solutions, Microsoft;s “storage in the cloud” service, just hit a new milestone earlier this week at the end of July — “Sprint 3.” The “Sprint 4″ release of SSDS is what Microsoft is hoping to show off at the Professional Developers Conference in late October this year, according to a posting around the SSDS blog.SSDS is similar to Amazon;s SimpleDB service,Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key, and is designed to allow users to store data in a Microsoft-hosted database.During a conference call with press and analysts announcing the RTM of the item,Microsoft Office Standard 2007, Microsoft officials provided a list of what the corporation considers to get the top 10 reasons that users of previous versions of SQL Server should consider upgrading to SQL Server 2008. The ten:10. Easier to install and upgrade9. Support for spatial/location data8. SQL Server Integration Companies enhancements7. Larger cubes with a lot more data supported via SQL Server Analysis Services6. Performance and reliability improvements in SQL Server Reporting Companies, including intetegration with Office 20075. Information Collector, a new subsystem for enabling performance information warehouses4. Data encryption and advanced auditing enhancements3. Data compression improvements, providing better query performance, also as back-up compression enhancements2. Policy-based management capabilities1. Resource governor, a new feature designed to ease management of concurrent workloads. (Resource governor does this by paritioning workloads among data warehouse users, Microsoft execs added.)Microsoft execs also mentioned to expect Hyper-V virtualization support for SQL Server 2008 during within 30 days of RTM.One SQL-related question over which I am still puzzling is when and whether Microsoft still intends to field a Microsoft-hosted business-intelligence bundle, akin to its Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Office Communications Server Online offerings.It was extra than a year ago that Microsoft brass first outlined the business;s plans for a “BI Online” type offering, consisting of Microsoft-hosted SharePoint/SQL Server/PerformancePoint. After these days;s conference cal,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, I asked company officials whether a Microsoft-hosted SQL Server offering — beyond SSDS — was still about the table. Provider officials declined to comment.Would you be interested in a Microsoft-hosted SQL Server and/or BI bundle? Why/why not?One more update: Microsoft also has RTM;d the “golden” versions of Microsoft Sync Framework V1 and Sync Companies for ADO.Net V2. Version 1.0 of the Sync Framework — “the synchronization platform for enabling collaboration and offline scenarios for applications, companies and devices,Windows 7 Keygen,” which is not the same as Microsoft;s other snc platform for collaboration, Live Mesh — can be downloaded from the Microsoft Downloads site.
