Yes, quite a while ago. SQL Server has an outstanding SQL engine, but it had that a couple of versions ago, so they need a new unique selling point. This may be because a SQL engine is now a very mature technology. They always tweak it, but gains here are marginal.

Is there still a shared tempdb across ALL databases in SQL Server?

Yes, there's still the idea of tempdb, what's the issue though one DB eating it all up?
