I just got cofirmed - ALL ATTENDEES OF THE CANADIAN LAUNCH TOUR will walk out with a copy of not-for-resale version of VS 2005 & SQL Server 2005. Check out Mark's blog for more details. YESSSSSSS!!!! I quote:
The Launch Team is pleased to confirm that Special Edition copies of Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 will be made available to everyone who attends the launch events. This is full functional "non-evaluation" software.
So, if you are one of the 11 000+ people registered for the event, make sure you
A. Show up at the event
B. Show up early. We have a LOT of people on the waitig list. We will hold your seat until the event starts, and at that point of time we will let the waitlisted devs in, so you may want to come at least 15 min early
SEE YOU AT THE EVENT!!!!
