Complementary VS 2005
Author
Sounds like you can get a complementary copy of Visual Studio 2005 if you attend the launch event. I just registered for the event for free. Being a poor medical student, I will gladly waste a few hours to get the software for free. Also, it sounds like our buddy Steve Ballmer will be delivering the keynote. He's always good for a laugh. :D
Go here if you are interested. Hopefully they are going somewhere close to you.
I want VS2005 now but the MSDN servers seem to be overloaded and I can't even sign into the download site [headshake]
Oh well.
It's next Friday that it's generally available, right?

Seems like there's one in Toronto, but for the Canadian tour page doesn't say anything about free copies of VS2005.
Damnit, and the Toronto date conflicts with my classes. If there's really a free copy of VS2005 for me, screw the classes; otherwise screw the launch event.
EDIT: Us Canadians are getting gypped!

It took me a couple tries, but I did finally start my download of the dvd through the msdn subscription page.
eedok, taby: Don't worry about it. It's not like we would be getting full copies anyway. [sad]
Given that the Express editions will probably be suitable for most GDNet'ers it's not too bad about the free copy. ~$50 and it's yours to love and cherish [smile]
Alternatively, it's only a matter of time before it pops up on MSDNAA - which it seems a lot of people round here probably have access to.
