Three days back, Microsoft Launched Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 & BizTalk Server 2006 here in Chennai. As I couldn't attend the launch in Bangalore, where BillGates presided, I went to this Ready Launch Tour 2005 in Chennai. But I couldn't stay for the whole show. I was there for 2 hours. And in the registration desk they gave a stuffed paper carry bag, with Ready Lauch Tour 2005 printed on both sides.
Contents found in the bag :
1. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 professional Edition (90 Days Trial) - CD
2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (180 Days Trial) - DVD
3. MSDN for SQL Server 2005 - DVD
Two days back only I downloaded Express Edition of Visual Web Developer 2005, SQL Server 2005 & Visual Basic 2005. Anyway I can use that later.
