It’s a SQL Server kind of day. First, congratulations to the team at Microsoft for releasing SQL Server 2014. Also, thanks again to Microsoft to awarding me their MVP award for my SQL Server community education activities for the second year in a row.
As promised, the Azure team made a set of Azure Virtual Machine images with SQL Server 2014 RTM available today as well.
I took the standard edition out for a spin and recorded the results in a short screencast (embedded below) – enjoy!
