TechEd 2009 Attendee Party Cancelled

March 12, 2009 · 1 min read

One of our developers going to TechEd today received  a bad news, good news email from Microsoft  (CRG Events) about in Los Angeles.  It said:

"We have made a change to previously published agendas. The attendee party will no longer take place, however we are planning an alternative social gathering which will continue to provide a great opportunity for attendees to network with each other in a fun social setting. Additionally this year you will receive a full copy of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 when released to market as part of registration."

At first disappointed, this developer was then excited to see he was getting a full license of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 some time in the future.  Although, I'm not sure if that is better than the usual 2 hours of endless beer and usually bad theme park food.  I guess that depends on how much he likes the new peek feature.
