SQL Server and Visual Studio.Net will be delayed. No big surprise there. Huge collections of programs are hard to get out the door on time. This CNet story has the details.
There is more to it, though, if MS employees are to be believed. Many of them are saying in confidence that the delayed releases will contain new tools to integrate older Visual Basic code safely and securely into the new server apps. In addition, there will be tools to actually convert some of the older code to the newer Visual Basic.Net language. This addresses the concerns of VB developers who have felt abandoned as MS has sunsetted the language in favor of VB.Net and provides them a transitional route between the two languages.
