SQL Server 2008 RC0 coming soon?

Buck Woody spoke of features not currently in the FEB CTP. A reader pointed this out to him and he responded in this post. So we can infer two things: RC0 is going to pop any time now. There are going to be new features.

I don't expect there to be any huge new features. Anyone have any rumors? I would also guess that they will have an RC1 in late July\early August. If all goes well, RTM in September. This is all speculation, of course. They may go straight to RTM if RC0 is solid. To be honest, FEB CTP has been pretty solid for me. I have not put it under load but I have tried some pretty crazy things with it.

If I had to guess, I'd bet they will release RC0 at the IT Pro event the second week of tech ed. Maybe even send everyone home with a copy of RC0 Dev Edition. That's just a guess of course, but the timing would seem right, and MS has a history of tying announcement releases into major shows.

That could be. I wonder what Bill G has up his sleeve for his keynote. Maybe cloud computing focusing on SSDS and LiveMesh.
