"Microsoft has told beta testers not to expect the next versions of SQL Server, code-named Yukon, and Visual Studio, code-named Whidbey, until next year, despite earlier promises to deliver both products in 2004. Fernando Caro, head of SQL Server customer programmes at Microsoft, said Yukon and Whidbey would be delayed until the first half of 2005 "to ensure the products meet our customers' high quality requirements". Tom Rizzo, Microsoft's director of product management for SQL Server, said: "Yukon is a big release. There's a lot of things inside it and we want to make sure we've tested our own Siebel systems and our own PeopleSoft systems on it."
