Very good so far! I am using SS2005 Workgroup edition, so I don’t see some of the same things you’re showing, but I have learned something with every class, thanks!

Good news David! You can check out all the features of SQL 2008 by heading over to the new computer lab at http://sqlserverbeta.com .You’ll have access to your very own instance of SQL 2008 Developer Edition!

Just wanted to point out that it’s been a week since I signed up at http://sqlserverbeta.com, and have sent two emails to support, with no response at all – Jorge, do you have an in, and know or can find out what gives?

David, I’m not sure what the hold up is as I signed up individually as well. I will email them and find out what the status is. I had asked them to setup a dedicated lab for SQL University as well so if your individual one doesn’t come in you should be able to use that one. I’ll keep you posted.

Well, I don’t know, but the same time I got notification of your comment, I got the following from gmail also…
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
support@sqlserverbeta.com
So even emailing them isn’t helping. I’ll see what I can do with the dedicated lab for #SQLU

David, I spoke to Sarah and looks like they had a technical glitch on their side. From now on all emails to them should get there fine. They have since resent confirmation emails to everyone who signed up so check your mail (also check your spam folder as they said emails from admin(at)sqlserverbeta(dot)com ) might go there.
