M$ best release those service packs!

I don’t think they have made a final decision about SQL Server 2008 SP4. Hopefully, they will give in to popular opinion and release it. Any feedback they get about this is helpful. Thanks!

Nonetheless, we are going to “latest and greatest” at the moment = CU15 and I have voted for on your connect item. Seeing that slipstreaming for servicing is not available, this is the least they can do? 😉

After mainstream support ends, there will be no more Service Packs or Cumulative Updates. Microsoft will still release security updates if any are necessary. You can still get support from Microsoft after mainstream support ends, but if your problem is caused by a code defect in SQL Server, Microsoft will not fix it, unless it is security related or you have paid them for extended support.

Will MS still help if I have problems with my SQL Servers?

It is not too difficult to build your own slipstreamed installs, Microsoft fully supports it pretty well with SQL Server 2012. See this: http://www.sqlperformance.com/2012/12/system-configuration/sql-2012-slipstream

I agree they need to get SP3 out for R2 – it’s long overdue.
