SQL Everywhere is now SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition

Don't know how many of you are watching the Mobile SQL DB space, but I sure am still excited about SQL Mobile 2005 and it's seamless integration with SQL Server 2005. I was psyched that I could build real products for Windows Mobile with a solid SQL Server databased on the device and then easily merge that same data with the server application though the real SQL Server.

SQL Compact, for short, is actually the next version of SQL Mobile. SQL Compact, just like SQL Mobile can be managed though SQL Management Studio, except now SQL Management Studio Express can have a chance to as well.

I've heard many great things about SQL Server 2005 Everywhere, now that this is CTP - I am definitely checking out the bits myself once I co-install Windows XP back onto my machine, I've been running RC1 for sooo long now.

UPDATED - Vista RTM Tomorrow? This Week? This Month?

Vista just went GOLD -> http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/default.aspx

Thanks for the good news to Matt N. @ http://bestsnowman.com

After reviwing some PR's from Microsoft and listening to various voices in the wind - Vista just might RTM sometime this week, heck maybe tomorrow.

So with the usual 7 day MSDN delay - MSDN Subscribers should have Office 2007 and Vista in about one week the most...

I would bet on this stuff to come out this month though.

[ BTW: These are just rumors and I don't work for MS or anything like that  ]
