I can't find it for download anywhere, in the US it seems it has to be shipped from the MS store as a DVD. What's going on? They already have SP1 out, have training courses, but I can't do any of that until I can actually GET A COPY! Seems like MS dropped the ball on this. I would like to do the 2012 training, but of course without having the actual database installed... I am stuck in limbo with my training... its been out for how many months? And they can't even let us use it...why?

Yep, unfortunately I am in China at the moment for the next year or so, no chance of them shipping it here. Thats why I really need to download it...

Maybe you can download the evaluation edition from the SQL Server website and upgrade it to developer edition? Don't really know where you could purchase the license key though.

True, I guess the evaluation will still work for 180 days, hopefully by that time they would have sorted this out. I can download SQL Server 2008 Developer edition, I guess they will release 2012 eventually...
