A new server OS in 4 weeks? Am I reading that right????

I just walked through the fires of hell to get Server 2008 incorporated as part of our SQL2008 rollout as it was "the future"

Hopefully, this will just be "Server 2008: Cloud Edition" :P

Was this at the technet event in London ?

I was there too - was a few interesting things shown!

I'm not sure what the event was officially called Moby. Was Steve Ballmer at your event? :)

There's some more editorial coming from the event, including some cool stuff they showed off...

too new for an OS to be ready without bugs

I dont think it will be anything as radical as a whole new OS - most likely a flavour of 2k8 that will be more Service orientated.

Not even a single gaffaw from Steve? Bah he must be mellowing in his old age :rolleyes:
