Gert's got all the details on his blog.
To me, the biggest point to latch on to is this:
This is the last CTP, we started our final descend, we will publish a public RC (release candidate) when it is ready, followed by the RTM release. The upcoming RC (release candidate) will be a "go-live" release. The two remaining areas the team is currently working on is performance and bugs, we are done with all work items.
It'll be nice to have a final version that I can use with SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008. Patience grasshopper, patience.
