Microsoft is having new release events all around the country, they give this to you as a gift for going. Vista was never mentioned though, nice bonus.

I've signed up for one near me, thank you very much!

You know, in 10 years or so I think I've only paid for one MS product, and that was a $20 copy of Office Pro through an employer. Everything else, they give away free if you pay attention. I wasn't this time, but you have saved me!

I see a Logitech G9 thar. Good mouse. I have it too.
>> Full copy of Server 2008 Haydn
* FULL COPY OF SERVER 2008 64 & 32 bit - one Physical Key + one Virtual Key (license for 1 device)
* 365 Day Trail Vista 32 + SP1
* Nov07 RC1 SQLserver2008 (64 & 32)
* 90 Day trail of Visual Studio 08

Went to the one in Sydney last thursday. Worth the price of admission for SERVER 2008 alone - the development lectures they had were alright too.

You're right, there's so much DRM in with vs08 and server 08 that it's ridiculous.

Oh, wait. That shit doesn't make any sense.

Shut the fuck up.

The DRM arguments are overblown, but the world needs to get over Microsoft. Having one single money-grabbing company control the computing world (and hence the global economy) is not good.

Okay, so if you were to take away every install of Windows in the world all of a sudden, what would happen?
>> Anonymous
>>311732
People would be stuck with moderately shittier versions of what we now know as OS X and Linux distributions?

And I guess some other company would come into the mix. The economy wouldn't collapse, but it'd be a little slower. Then again, no sane governments or corporations rely on Microsoft to the core.

wow, that was retarded. Just because it is free doesn't mean it is for poor people, as poor people can just download illegal copies. linux is for people who like open source, and for security. granted you could now say why not go mac, but then you would have a mac.
