Don't you remember your telling us that your 2005 classes were full and you were raking it in? Apparently for a product that you now say had low uptake?

First off all, quote me directly. I never once said that SQL 2005 had "low uptake". SQL 2005 got much closer to the ANSI-99 standard, offered a better report writer that could at least get in the ring with Crystal, put SSAS into the OLAP "magic quadrant", made data mining possible for companies - in general, put Microsoft on the Business Intelligence map. You have no idea how hard I pushed clients to upgrade to 2005.


Second, you (once again) are making an implication based on an incorrect premise. I got involved in training in late 2007. And the class size has no relevance to my initial claim that you continue to distort.
