We’ll I’ve been back to work now for a few weeks. We had an amazing family holiday, driving through the US and Canada.

Anyway, since SQL Server 2008 RTM’d last week, I’ve been putting together a virtual machine image that I intend to use for a pre-conference session that I am delivering at Tech Ed, here in Australia.
Unfortunately, there is a bit of a snag in that, if you are going to use Business Intelligence Studio – there is a dependency on Visual Studio 2008 SP1, which won’t be released until later this week!
So, because of deadlines for this image, I will have to stick with RC0….
