Jason,

No official date that I have heard, but I believe it is currently targeted
for around September 2008.

Officially, Q3 2008.

However, Microsoft published a TPC benchmark a few weeks ago. According to
the TPC rules, they have to RTM the product within six months of publishing
the benchmark or withdraw it. I am guessing that they now have a hard date
of early September.
