eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft Director of Product Management for SQL Server Tom Rizzo confirmed that Microsoft expects to ship both Yukon -- Microsoft's code name for the next major update of its SQL Server database -- and Whidbey -- the coming update of Visual Studio -- in the first half of 2005. In the meantime, a third beta has been added to the current beta schedule of Yukon, with 15 beta customers from across all major vertical industries signing up to run Yukon Beta 3 live in production settings before giving the thumbs up for Microsoft to make the product generally available.
