Parallel Query Execution Presentation

For those of you readers who've been wondering whatever happened to me, I've been rather busy.  Among other activities, I've been writing a chapter for Kalen Delaney's upcoming fourth book in the Inside SQL Server 2005 series : Query Tuning and Optimization .

I am hoping to resurrect my blog and to get things started, I'm posting a presentation that I recently delivered to the Pacific Northwest SQL Server User's Group .  Several attendees asked whether they could have copies of this presentation, so here it is.
