When will C++0x be released? Anyone here know anything?
only because then it will be renamed 1x if it runs into 2010.

Hmm, at a conference 1 year ago, Bjarne Stroustrup joked on it that the `x` in `C++0x` may be in hexa...

@Piotr: His idea was C++0B, But I think C++0xB looks much nicer, as 0B looks like an incorrect octal number to me... but 0xB is perfectly formed hexadecimal.

As stated on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x :
The ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 C++ Standards Committee aims to introduce the new standard in 2009 (hence the standard that is today called C++0x will become C++09) which means that the document must be ready for ratification of the member states of ISO in 2008. To be able to finish on schedule, the Committee decided to focus its efforts on the solutions introduced up until 2006 and ignore newer proposals [1].

Herb Sutter is a useful source of information on this as the convener of then ISO C++ committee (until recently).
EDIT See his latest blog post here from March 13, 2010 for an update on recent progress: C++0x is now a Final Committee Draft, and...
"... assuming all goes well , C++0x could officially be published as soon as next year as ISO C++ 2011, and we can stop with the “x-is-hex” jokes and just start calling it C++11."
P.J. Plauger has taken over as the new convener, but I expect that Herb will continue to provide updates on the committee's progress - and as Herb also works for Microsoft, early clues as to when a Microsoft implementation of C++0X will be available.

UPDATE: http://herbsutter.com/2010/08/28/trip-report-august-2010-iso-c-standards-meeting/- There will be a vote on March 21, 2011- if it succeeds, then the standard is in place.
