Journey ended, a new one begins

Few days ago I wrote in my previous post that my impression from the PDC2008, especially while talking with development team, that Microsoft is not quite sure what to do with "Oslo".
In yesterday's post on his blog, Douglas Purdy writes that "Oslo" will be shipped as "SQL Server Modeling", as part of the releases of SQL Server.
Here's a quote:

"The components of the SQL Server Modeling CTP are:

• “M” is a highly productive, developer friendly, textual language for defining schemas, queries, values, functions and DSLs for SQL Server databases
• “Quadrant” is a customizable tool for interacting with large datasets stored in SQL Server databases
• “Repository” is a SQL Server role for the the secure sharing of models between applications and systems

We will announce the official names for these components as we land them, but the key thing is that all of these components are now part of SQL Server and will ship with a future release of that product."

So, it seems that journey to "Oslo" as a "homeless", "general purpose" modeling platform has ended and it has found its "foster home" in MS SQL Server product. Nevertheless, I still like it.
