We announced awhile back that we would be giving away the electronic version of the SQL Server Standard magazine free to all MCPs. And then immediately after the January issue, we had a problem with Microsoft and many of you wrote to me asking where you could find the March issue. Suffice it to say that despite their incredible ability to change the direction of the company, Microsoft has a good sized bureaucracy and with some internal shuffling of people, we lost our contact.

But it's back and you can now get the January, March, and May issues on the secure MCP site.

Click the image above to get the current issue, or follow this link to the archive page they've put up. Hopefully we won't have any more issues with this and you can get this every other month. Subscribe to the MCP Flash to get notified or watch the daily newsletter here.

And if you want the magazine in print, you can subscribe in our store and get it mailed to your house every other month.

Thanks for your support in making this a great community and extending it to others.
