Release Date of SQL Server 2005

Just in case you didn't know already:
the international release date of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is November 7th (2005).

Here in Austria (where I live), the release date is November 22nd (2005) and it will be released together with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005.

Unfortunately, I still do not know whether Axapta 3.0 will get a SQL 2005 connection or not..........
