T+31 - 34 Nov 3-Nov 6

The rest of this week I was in SQL Soft training on new features of SQL Server 2005 which should be GA on Nov 7. With all the stuff crammed in there now, it's difficult to call it just a DBMS now. Queues, XML support, Subscriptions and more make this product more than just a data manager. And now that you can include procedures in.NET languages, it's almost Access-like in that your entire solution could be wrapped up in a data base.

Also spent a lot of time after hours completing the 2nd product eval and writeup. Saturday we went to the seattle auto show, lunched at Ivars and then took the rest of the weekend off.

Spent some time listening to web casts of previous MSDN events related to my evaluation. I recommend most of them for anyone wanting to learn more about my topic.
