SQL Server 2008 overview video (built entirely in Silverlight!)

Check out https://www.microsoft.com/sql/2008/overviewdemo/ for a new video that provides a high level overview of what's in SQL Server 2008. Quite an easy way to learn about the platform for the next generation of data-driven applications!

  Hi - can you view other Silverlight videos? For example, can you see the tafiti video on http://blogs.msdn.com/ronang/archive/2007/08/21/tafiti-a-new-search-experience-with-silverlight-and-live-search.aspx ? What OS / browser etc. do you have? Feel free to use the contact link on my blog to send me more details...(http://blogs.msdn.com/ronang/contact.aspx)

  Hi lexp, can I infer from your comment that you had problems viewing the video? If so please let me know. I think the Silverlight video is an easy/quick way to take in the information, and it also has closed captioning (presumably done using Expression Media encoder). If you want to read instead can also get a ton of SQL Server 2008 information at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/2008/default.mspx.

  I have forwarded the feeback to the person responsible for the content who will look into it. If I hear anything back I will post here. FYI I used Silverlight 1.1 alpha with Windows Vista Enterprise and it works fine for me.

  Connected over VPN I couldn't watch the video. After disconnecting, I was able to view it.
