SMS 2003 SP3: Friday

Yes, SMS 2003 SP3 is due to be posted this Friday April 27th (yes, 2007). The most reliable of sources has confirmed it.

I don't know any other details. For example, will Premier customers get the first hit at it? Or what time of day. But at least some peole will get their hands on it this Friday.

Of course there's the usual disclaimers. Maybe the product team will release it on Friday but the microsoft.com guys won't actually get it publicly available until Saturday or so. Or maybe our ever diligent professional testers will find some last minute BIG BUG. That's VERY unlikely given how much testing has already been done, but anything is possible.
