7/16 Update: Soma says VS+Fx coming this year, double Yippee!
Update: Daniel (http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog) made me think about this post...it is my personal wish for the products to RTM before the launch :)
RTM usually comes before the launch (I'm hoping BizTalk 2006 was an anomaly), so that means most of what you and I are waiting for will be ready before Feb 2008.
In anticipation for the most significant Microsoft enterprise event in the next year, Turner announced that Windows Server® 2008, Visual Studio® 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server™ 2008 will launch together at an event in Los Angeles on Feb. 27, 2008

Yippee!
