Here is a list of some MS kickoff events in the US from Feb 27 to May 22:
http://www.microsoft.com/heroeshappe...r/default.mspx
so my guess is that it will be officially released in that same time frame.
I'm not sure how the spread of the multi-session (multi-month) launch events
will relate to the date of in-store availability.
The URL above indicates that attendees will recieve a promotional versions
of the products being launched, in case that helps you. I'm not sure if
registration is FCFS or if they are screening for target audience, so your
milage may vary.

Also want to know when SQL Server 2008 is releasing.
Thanks, Saroj.
