Here's the first sentence:
> Microsoft is excited to announce that the next version of SQL Server (SQL Server v.Next) Community Technology Preview (CTP) 1.1 is now available for download on both Windows and Linux.
This is a really confusing product name. Is this a preview of version 1.1 of SQL Server? Is this version 1.1 of a community preview of SQL Server v.Next? Does v.Next mean 1.1, or does it mean community technology preview? How many layers of preview are going on here? Once the CTP releases, will we have SQL Server v.Next 1.1 Production? Or will we have SQL Server 1.1 production?
The name implies a dizzying variety of different offerings of SQL Server! I have the same issue with the profusion of products that contain the substring ".Net" -- which of them is right for me?
Microsoft might finally be playing nice with Linux and trying to entice developers, but as an outsider, this sort of weird enterprise complexity keeps me away.
