According to the press release at http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2005/jun05/TechEd2005Day2PR.mspx, the Sql Server 2005 June CTP is publically available at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/. Unfortunately, as of 10:40 am US - Eastern Time (GMT - 5, I think), the link generates a 404 error. I'm sure it will be fixed, but ack.................... Update: as of 12:10 pm, I can see the files on betaplace. Happy days are here again. :-)
