It's very important for Microsoft to win the hearts and minds of the developers.

Microsoft hasn't been the greatest on delivery times to begin with. I don't know if this [one] makes things any worse.

In general I am not as pessimistic as Gartner, but I am not as optimistic as Microsoft. I am a little concerned about some of the predictions based on the software (builds) we are seeing now?each build is more stable than the previous build?but there is still a long ways to go. If we don't see substantial stability improvements in May when we get Beta 2 then I will be worried.

We are on a mission to win the hearts and minds of our employees.

Microsoft has no SQL Server developers. We have only Azure developers.

Hearts understand in ways minds cannot.
