It sounds a very exciting prospect. I only wish that I was working for a company that both would benefit from it and is that forward thinking. This would encourage me to stay just that half an hour more (read an hour and a half 😉).

So, it looks like perhaps v.Next just a re-branding of the Community Technology Preview (CTP) program?

Actually v.Next is the designation for the next version of SQL Server. It's been called this a lot (SQL Server 2016 was referred to as vNext in 2014), but this is the first time I've seen it in marketing.
Personally I dislike the moniker it because lots of information will be written about v.Next, which will look funny in a year when v.Next is SQL 15.

Surely not. CTP is open. Is it not? (I am assuming that you are talking about the SQL Server Early Adoption Program (SQL EAP).)

You said "SQL 15", but did you mean "SQL 2017" or "SQL 2018" ?

SQL Server 2016 is SQL 13 (RTM build 13.0.1601)
right now, SQL v.Next is build 14.0.200 (CTP).
SQL 15 will be SQL v.Next when there's a release next year. I'm guessing it will be SQL 2017, but who knows.
