    SQL Server 2008 now available for download

    See: http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1519

    "Microsoft officials announced at TechEd South Africa on August 6 that SQL
    Server 2008 has been released to manufacturing.

    "Microsoft officials said last month to expect the product on August price
    lists. SQL Server 2008 is available as of today to MSDN and TechNet
    subscribers and will be available for evaluation download on Aug. 7, company
    officials said. SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server Compact editions are
    available for free download today, as well."

    Note that the link for the free SQL Server 2008 Express download on
    Microsoft's site is still for the RC0 version, so the article is in error on
    that fact. We'll have to wait for the RTM version to become available. I
    don't know when that's going to be. Hopefully soon.

    SQL Server 2025 redefines what's possible for enterprise data. With developer-first features and integration with analytics and AI models, SQL Server 2025 accelerates AI innovation using the data you already have.

    SQL Server Express 2008 is now available for download, too. It's free.
