>Do you know WHEN version 7.0 is going to be released? Is there any ifnormation on this? We urgently need this for customers who need to do VALIDATE DATABASE RECOVER. Thanks


Nope. The official release date has not been announced by Microsoft. Keep in mind that *typically* when MS gives a release date, that is really the date for "Release to Manufacturer" (RTM). After RTM, general product availablility is usually 4-6 weeks later.
