Andreas - I've been looking for blogs/references that speak to how stable SQL 2008 RTM is proving to be and, in particular, with MOSS 2007.  Was wondering if you have experience with production environments and any feedback with regards to stability/reliability.

Hi,

yes that's a question I have asked myself. I haven't seen any SQL Server 2008 in a production environment right now. The customers I talk to still use SQL Server 2005 and the customers who are going to use SharePoint 2007 need to set up the production environment.

Unfortunately I have to wait until I hear some experiences from the real world..
