On your mark. Get set. Install.

No not yet. Yes it is true that Microsoft will have its “Global Virtual Launch” event for SQL Server 2012 on March 7th 2012 but you won’t be able to download and install the final bits on that day. This purely a marketing event to get you excited about the upcoming real product.

One thing that will really happen on that day is an online event hosted by Microsoft. This event offers more than 30 sessions that you can watch live online. Visit http://www.sqlserverlaunch.com for all the details and to register.
