At all of the presentations that I have been to, it has been presented to the world as a finished product. There is also an element that of foolishness on my part. I discarded my usual cynicism for new products with abandon because I wanted to believe that Microsoft had produced what Fred Brooks called a 'silver bullet'. I let my expectations be high for the In-Memory tables, only to have them deflated by the various gotchas.All the best,
Sean.
I disagree with releasing it separately, but I completely agree with the presentation. Far, far too much "information" given out by marketers and product managers is disingenuous or an outright lie. The feature isn't close to finished, but neither are a few others. Certainly I think that they are no better or worse than most other software vendors who are "stretching" the truth that something with a niche or narrow use case is a primary feature anyone can use.
