Is there going to be another SQL Server 2008 CTP?

The final release of a product will appear after the CTP's are exhausted. From what I read there may be another CTP before the final release of SQL Server 2008.

I quote [excerpted in part] from the following link:

"After the February CTP we are expecting to release another CTP that is designed to be mostly bug fixes found by us or reported by the community. That CTP, depending on feedback and other evaluations, might be the final CTP for this release.

So what does all this mean to you?

In simple terms, it means that the February CTP is the release that you want to try out and test drive as hard as possible. It is feature complete, fairly high quality and it is possibly the last chance before the final CTP to get us any feedback that could be incorporated into the final product aside from critical ship-stoppers. Your feedback is very important and helps us assess our level of readiness to ship. Now is the time to provide input.

So, that’s it for now….. not a blog, just an update with lots of bad spelling I can call my blog post …. J

Hopefully this update was useful and if so, I will send another one as we get closer to the final build ….
