I can't be more agree with Jim Rapoza on Eweek.

It's true that SQL 2000 is showing every day its age, and Microsoft should had launched a SQL Server 2003 to have the IT market at least be happy ready to wait for the net big release Yukon.

His arguments are strong but full of sense.

Extract:

"

But five years is a bit much. I think I speak for a lot of SQL Server users when I say that a SQL Server 2003 release would have been a good thing. It didn't have to be anything major, just something that addressed security problems more effectively than a service pack and that made SQL Server better equipped to deal with the current reality of Web services and XML.

Instead, we wait. Or not. Because when it comes to a core enterprise database system, living in the past is not an option.
