(訳)マイクロソフトは、2005の前半にリリースを予定していた「SQLサーバー2005」のリリースを遅らせ、夏以降とすることをことを決定しました。CTP版は最終ベータおよび製品の最終的なリリースの前に臨時のベータとしてリリースされるでしょう.

SQLServerExpress2005の開発者版はBetaPlace*1で利用可能です。また、MSDN加入者は近日中にダウンロードすることができます

Microsoft has decided to delay the release of SQL Server 2005 from the first half of 2005 until later in the summer of that year. A Community Technical Preview will be released as an interim beta with possibly more to come before the final beta and the product’s eventual release.

The Developer Edition of SQL Server Express 2005 is available at BetaPlace and will be available for MSDN subscribers to download in the next week or two.

Microsoft last week confirmed that the shipment date for its long-awaited SQL Server 2005 database could slip slightly beyond the target of the first half of 2005 that the company set earlier this year when it delayed the upgrade for the third time.

Microsoft has decided to delay the release of SQL Server 2005 from "first half" of 2005 till "summer" 2005. Visual Studio 2005 has been "linked" to SQL 2005 so I guess it too will be delayed.
