That's why it was boring. My people didn't invite me to it because they thought I'd be bored out of my skull :lol: You went to a show for consumers and customers. That’s why it was boring.

I attended a conference by Microsoft on SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. It was the closest thing to a church service I've ever been to that wasn't a church service. I wasn't sure whether churches were learning from Microsoft or vice versa or a mixture. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new products.

BTW, I was wondering if one can download the free beta version and get their support and updates, any idea? hmm, wonder when they are going to launch it in India.

Will have to wait and see. The show itself was pretty boring. I didn’t get a copy of Vista or Office at the show but they maybe sending me a set. Will have to wait and see.

MS's seminars, launch events and, conventions are heads and shoulders above many others that I've been too. They can get boring sitting through some of the talks but they really treat you well. I'd be curious on your take on Office and Vista if you can score a copy. I've been running them both for about 3 weeks via my MSDN subscription. I'm not sure how I feel about them because they are both significantly different (in some ways) than the previous versions. Anyways, have fun. Have fun John.

I doubt they're giving out free swag eh? Last time I went to a Microsoft thing was with Stephen Fung and it was at the Opus Hotel. Their christmas line up which was some cool things including the release of Media Center. Though we got gifts at the end of it (I got slippers and a MS Keyboard). Was a small an private kinda deal but not bad. Guess this event will be a little big bigger than that. Is it really that boring? I doubt they’re giving out free swag eh?
