The feature is complete, has passed extensive internal testing, and we are committed to making it generally available in the first half of 2006. We will continue to field test the feature with customers and will release it for general use as soon as you tell us it is ready.

I've taken the plunge and started to uninstall June CTP to be able to install the September CTP of SQL Server 2005. Unfortunately it doesn't support an upgrade so you have to run the Microsoft SQL Server Clean up Wizard. This is running at the moment and I will let you know how it goes.
