Integration Services bloggers at Microsoft (archive)

This list contains bloggers from Microsoft who have moved on to a different product team. Although some are still actively blogging - in some cases, at a new URL - you will mostly find posts about Integration Services in their archives. Most of what was written for SQL Server 2005 Integration Services is still applicable and useful in 2008. However beware of information that applied only to beta releases.
