Want to provide feedback on any Microsoft product? Want access to the latest CTPs (sometimes known as betas)?
Create an account on http://connect.microsoft.com/ and you can file bugs or wishes and vote on what other people have submitted. You can also find CTPs and evaluation editions of various products. For example, to get the CTP of SQL Server 2008 SP1 go to http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer. From the same page you can access the SQL Server feedback section as well as the SQL Server discussion forums. Please vote on your favorite bugs/requests/wishes as this increases the chance they will change for a future version of SQL Server.
