Microsoft quietly released CU #9 (build 9.00.3282) yesterday; it contains a few dozen fixes, including a nasty AV involving UNION queries, documented in KB #956006. You can read about / obtain the cumulative update at the following KB:

So, now you can start hitting F5 all day, every day on the article for CU #10 (KB #956854). 🙂
I am a passionate technologist with industry experience dating back to Classic ASP and SQL Server 6.5. I am a long-time Microsoft MVP, write at Simple Talk, SQLPerformance, and MSSQLTips, and have had the honor of speaking at more conferences than I can remember. In non-tech life, I am a husband, a father of two, a huge hockey and football fan, and my pronouns are he/him.
No Uri, I do not have any special information about SP3 that you don't. 🙂 I think they have listened well and are going to put an SP3 together, but I would really expect that they meant Q4 in the traditional Microsoft sense (e.g. Dec 30th). 🙂
Thanks Aaron. However I'm still waiting for SP3 to be released in Q4 if i remember well, by any chance, do you have any info about releasing SP3 in the near future :-)?
