Microsoft renames (again) -- delays -- SQL Everywhere
ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft this week quietly announced it is dropping the highly touted renaming of SQL Server Mobile Edition to SQL Server Everywhere Edition.
Due to the complications of changing the name so late in the product's release cycle, the company will delay the release of the latest version for an indefinite period of "several weeks." Instead, the pending product will now be dubbed SQL Server Compact Edition or SQLce.
SQL Server Everywhere Edition was until recently scheduled to begin shipping to customers in November. The delays are mostly attributable to needing to change the product's localization and documentation, according to statements on a company blog. However, Microsoft still hopes to get the final product out by the end of the year.
