I'm not sure what the marketing department is planning over at Quest Software. But I thought I'd take a moment to tell you about some new, and free, beta releases that are of interest to SQL Server professionals. I also want to point out that I always want to hear your feedback about any Quest product and will make sure that it gets to the right people in the company so that your feedback can be addressed immediately.
So what's new?
Litespeed 5.0 Beta: Major changes are afoot in our flagship SQL Server product and the leading backup & recovery tool for SQL Server from any vendor.

Toad for SQL Server 4.0 Beta: This release, the final beta drop for v4.0, features an all-new UI with lots of process improvements.
