promotional kit with versions of all three products???? does that mean full verison???? or 90 day try.

No Memphis, as always... this place sucks.

If this launch is similar to their Visual Studio 2005 intro, they handed out the Standard Edition of both VS2005 & SQL2005 Server. For those who can't make the official launch, keep an eye out for the "Best of" event where they regurgitate the same information and also hand out the NFR copies.

MANY, MANY but not all cities are now open for registration. The time to visit the Link and complete registration IS NOW FOR MANY OF YOU!!!

All signed up now. Thanks.

I registered for the LA one...It said I will get a conf email within 5 to 10 business days...Now my question is does this cost anything or is it free?

At the VS2005 launch, we got VS 2005 standard, SQL Server 2005 Professional, and a 180-day time-limited version of MS Server 2003.

Do I have to be there the whole time to receive the softwares? It's on a workday so I can't spend a whole day at the event.

Breakfast will be made available to attendees at launch events. they do treat you with good food. thanks op
