[SGVLUG] FYI - MS Heroes event in Anaheim 4/8 get MS sw w/o paying

[matti]

Hi!

well, MS Heros event is happening 4/8 in Anaheim 
and you can still register to go.

http://www.microsoft.com/heroeshappenhere/events/Anaheim/default.mspx


the LA event included free breakfast and lunch
and they gave out MS software... for free as
in beer. I would expect the same for the OC
event.

Suse should be there, and in addition to Suse CDs
may have USB thumb drives (HP did also.) 
[ btw - i think Michael or Jason picked up some
[ Suse/Redhat CDs.. so be certain to come to the
[ next meeting...


yes, I know there are restrictions with regards 
to licensing issues that maybe offensive to many.. 
however for those of us who need to work with
MS as well as linux related products this is a
change to save some $$ by not having to buy 
a license for MS products


heres what SW the bag had:
