Cool things are coming out of Mix08!

There's even something there for we database people: SQL Server Data Services.

SSDS you can think of as a structured data store in the cloud(building block service), which is accessed using Internet protocols using a basic data manipulation language. SSDS is for developers and businesses that need scalable, easily programmable, and cost-effective data storage with robust database query capabilities. Pretty cool.

Harper Trow of GenYSystems tells me he cannot open SSIS 2005 packages in Visual Studio 2008. I have not yet confirmed this personally but I trust Harper implicitly - he's one of the smartest developers I know. More later...

In a related story: there's a download that allows you to interact with SQL Server 2008 CTP 5 from within Visual Studio 2005. Check out Visual Studio 2005 Support for SQL Server 2008, Community Technology Preview.
