Here’s a low-quality (sorry) photo of the screen that MDS practitioners and users are going to become very familiar with, the home screen of MDS’ web interface:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/DSCN0097_71DEA1DD.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom:0px;border-left:0px;display:inline;border-top:0px;border-right:0px;" title="DSCN0097" border="0" alt="DSCN0097" src="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/DSCN0097_thumb_65044BBF.jpg" width="422" height="561" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My first impressions are that this is a reskinned version of Stratature (i.e. the previous incarnation of this product) and that should surprise no-one. I didn’t see anything that I hadn’t seen already in Stratature 18 months ago but then it wasn’t possible for Ian to show much in such a short session so I’m sure there’s more to see (in fact I’ve &lt;a href="http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2009/11/09/fuzzy-logic-and-regex-come-to-t-sql-in-sql-server-2008-r2-available-now.aspx"&gt;already spoken&lt;/a&gt; about some of it).&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I’ve nothing more to show say about this right now, I just figured some people might be interested in what this thing might look like. More to come later, I promise!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/jamiet"&gt;@Jamiet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
