The title says it all folks. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 has now been released to manufacturing. The article says it will be available by download within the next couple of weeks.

However I went to the SQL 2008 R2 home page and clicked the try now button. I’m downloading something. I hope its not the CTP. I guess we will see when its done.

Hers the link the the SQL Server Blog
