Aww, man, I hadn't realized that. Back when Matti first mentioned the MS Heroes series the only remotely local event was the Anaheim one in April which I missed. I didn't even think to re-check as I figured MS would be very rigid w/their scheduling. Thanks for the tip!<br>
<br>Great idea, Matti (thanks again!). Back when I used to work for a software company like 10yrs ago doing QA on enterprise level backup software, we used to get the MSDN subscription, too. Talk about being buried in discs. ;)<br>

You might do a search on upcoming MS events. I was surprised to notice that<br>
the fulfillment web page for the SQL Server registration noted dates as<br>
recently as a few weeks ago. Apparently there was another Anaheim event on<br>
May 15th. It occurred to me that they might continue to do SQL Server<br>
giveaways until they actually ship the product.<br>

Awww, don't remind me, Matti. I missed out on /both/ events! :(<br>
Would've been nice to have access to their new products, just in case I need<br>
to test something out.<br>
<br>
Oh well...but that reminds me, I don't have a dartboard. =P<br>

Thanks for that Matti,<br>
<br>
I registered for it today, June 3rd, and the site let me submit the<br>
form<br>
successfully. I also received a confirmation email. They are missing<br>
the<br>
April 8 event in Anaheim on the drop down list and I discovered that<br>
as long<br>
one types in the reg code it works.<br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>

OT:<br>

fyi - TODAY (6/2) is the deadline to signup for the MS SQL server<br>
eval software.<br>
<br>
[ gee, jumping thru all these hoops reminds me why I<br>
[ like open source software ;)<br>
<br>
btw - this maybe of interest to some... note this<br>
is an annual subscription iirc, so if you have to<br>
reinstall and get new "keys" after your subscription<br>
is out, you have to re-new.<br>
