It seems as though it’s that time of year again for Microsoft to push it’s latest and greatest development innovations. This year (last year was Vista) it’s the turn of VS2008 and SQL 2008 to get the limelight.

I’ve probably been to a few similar sessions to those advertised, but as is typical, I wasn’t using the technology at the time so I’ve forgotten most of what was mentioned. So, it’ll be good to hear it again and it should make a lot more sense this time.
As always, the $149+GST entry fee goes on the ‘freebies’:
“All attendees will receive a promotional pack containing limited ‘not for resale’ versions of the Launch Wave products together with other software goodies.”
So this means a copy of Windows Server 2008, VS2008 (a trial only by the looks of it) and SQL 2008 (when it’s released) … very nice!
