During the PASS Community Summit, Rick Heiges did an interview with Thomas Grohser, the Senior Database Engineer at the bwin Interactive Entertainment AG, the world's largest online gambling company.

In the interview, Thomas reveals some of the cool throughput statistics of their workload and his early impressions of SQL Server 2008.
