The question of the day is, with Visual Studio 2008 already happening and SQL Server 2008 maybe not happening for real for at least another six months, just how many "heroes" will be "happening here" at the Windows Server 2008 launch gala?

At the front gate of the Nokia Theater outside the Convention Center here this morning, one of the Nokia workers asked me, "So where are the heroes?" I tried to explain to him that the "heroes" were a metaphor for Microsoft's server software, being launched -- or otherwise unveiled -- this morning.
