The stuff I am most excited about in this CTP is the SQL Server R Services in SQL Server 2016....


To accompany CTP3, the SQL Server team also created an updated version of AdventureWorks, called AdventureWorks2016CTP3, and they have created a number of samples to showcase some of the new functionality in SQL2016. They recommend you download and install the sample databases and play with the sample scripts. Download link: AdventureWorks Sample Databases and Scripts for SQL Server 2016 CTP3
