I came across this ridiculuos (in my opinion) EWeek article today. The author's opinion is that "Database administrators have little incentive to implement Microsoft's long-awaited update". Looks to me like Charles didn't do his homework about all the new features and the excitement over this release in the SQL Server world before writing the opinion. I also don't think he is right about the timeframe for major adoption.
AAinTX wrote a pretty good comment and I will echo what he's saying - "You have got to be kidding"
