I'm trying to find and create/import the Northwind database to practice my Linq-fu.
I cannot find it for the life of me, searching just turns me to this page, which in turn tells me to find it on the official page which isn't there.

Northwind doesn't come installed with SQL Server 2008. You can instead:
download scripts for creating the Northwind and pubs sample databases.
download Northwind and pubs MDF/LDF from Microsoft. The article is titled 'SQL Server 2000 Sample Databases'.
They come in SQL Server 2000 format / compatibility mode. Microsoft seems to have stopped using these 2 in favour of the new sample database for SQL Server 2008: AdventureWorks.
You can download AdventureWorks 2008 R2 SR1.
Microsoft has its SQL Server Product Database samples at CodePlex.
