As I sit in Schiphol in an area with a shaky wireless connection (so don't be surprised if it get sent when I am back home [as I feared, the network went down when I hit send]), travelling back from Convergence EMEA in Munich (while everyone else was able to enjoy Barcelona at TechEd Europe instead...), I got notice that the Community Tech Preview (CTP) of Service Pack 2 (SP2) of SQL Server 2005 has been made available for download.

You can find all the available links, docs, support instructions, & information on CTP2 at: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ctp.mspx &n
