Nope, you won't find SQLS 2008 in there (apart from the Nov 07 CTP), because MS haven't got it working yet! But you do get a nice Appreciation Voucher card (wow!) - which will entitle you to the Standard Edition when it does come out...

I am going to a product launch down in Charlotte next month and should get my copy there. It sounds like it will be worth the time to learn the new environment. Of course that means a whole new set of books. My wife HATES my books, at $45-$60 apiece. Has anyone seen any 2008 books that they can recommend? BASIC PROGRAMMING! ;-) John W.
