SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM

MS have issued a press release stating that SQL Server 2008 R2 has been Released To Manufacturing (are they still pressing discs? I guess so...). It also states that it will be available in early May from the likes of us and MS's own channels. Self-service BI gets top billing. I've certainly been impressed with the reporting elements of R2 - not only PowerPivot but also Reporting Services, so I'm looking forward to using it in anger with clients...
