VS-DB is coming

The press-release is here, and the excitement is building. A new version of Visual Studio, designed for DB Professionals. It lets you have a proper Database Development Life Cycle, and all kinds of funky stuff. Finally! Now I want to include a bunch of stuff about it in my presentation next week, but the CTP only comes out on June 11th.

I had a few people point me to Greg Low's post this morning. Thanks guys. :)
