Now that we have shipped SQL Server 2005, I would really like to hear from you what you want us to do regarding XML support in SQL Server 2005. Feel free to either contact me directly or even better, file a request at the Microsoft Connect Site.

Tomorrow I will be on my way to Europe for the SQL Server Launch Events in Zurich and Lausanne (Switzerland) and Athens (Greece). In Switzerland I will be presenting a specially made presentation on "What's new in SQL Server 2005" that will be more technical than the general launch presentation that I am giving in Athens.
In addition, I will be visiting family, speak at the .Net User Group in Kuesnacht on XQuery and XML in SQL Server 2005, and will give two presentations on SQL Server in general and XML in particular at the Swedish SQL Server User group in Stockholm on December 8.
If you are around, feel free to stop by and say hi.
