My name is Tom Pruett and I will be
hosting the security and Microsoft SQL Server Blog’s.
I have been teaching for 15 years and have been with the
company since 1997 (the IKON days). My experience
includes all Microsoft operating systems, SQL Server, programming
and security (CISSP, CEH and ChFI). In a way, you
could call me a jack of all trades. In addition to
being an instructor I have an outside consulting business
in which I take care of the networking needs of several
small businesses in the greater Kansas City area.
As for me personally I am married and
have a brand new baby girl, Madelined. I enjoy golf,
college and pro sports, hunting and fishing and also am
the proud owner of a 3 year old yellow lab Remy.
I am very excited about the upcoming
year, Microsoft is rolling out SQL Server 2008 and new security
products. So if you have any questions or if I can
help you out with information about SQL Server or Security
classes, please feel free to blog away.
That is all for now, I look forward
to seeing you in class and hearing from you. When
you come to Centriq, just ask for the big Mizzou instructor,
they will point you in the right direction.
SQL Server 2008 Launch and Release Date?
Tags:
SQL 2008
What is the difference you say?
In February 2008, Microsoft released SQL Server 2008 and launched Windows Server 2008 along with Visual Studio 2008. For years Microsoft has been very timely in launching and releasing a product very close together. However for SQL Server 2008 the actual release date has been delayed and as of April has not been set.
Microsoft has for the most part launched a product to introduce the final product to the public as an advertising campaign and to get people to start thinking about upgrading. Most of the time in the following month the product is then sold as a retail product or distributed through MSDN for testing.
As of right now most people in the industry are judging that July or August will be the release date.
So my question is what is your impression of SQL Server 2008 being released later than usual?
