dgriner844 Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I just got back from Visual Studio.net launch. I was much better than I thought it would be. They had a band that was pretty good, tons of food, and gave out prizes. Plus I got WindowsXP and Visual Studio.net cd's. Plus the demo and speaker was really interesting. I will definitely go to another function like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the NY Show Too, i'd rather been downstairs listening to bush!..Man Those Idiots Couldn't Figure out the damn screen for like an hour! It was like looking at the sun! :p It was an alright show, it wasn't that great, i had gone to the one in Westbury the week before, so it wasn't like i didn't know what that dude was doing, I came for the free software, in westbury we got some dinky DVD Trial Edition Of Professional (60days).

The Burning Rom Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Just got back from a roadtrip to the Detroit event that was two nights ago...:) I scored 3 copies of XP Pro, 3 Copies of VB.Net, and 4 Spiderballs...:) I have no idea what the idea behind those are.....:s The show was great. The Starbucks program that he built was pretty cool....even though I don't drink coffee. I almost creamed in my pants when he started playing with C#...it's way better than C++ I my opinion. And being able to combine languages like that is awesome. Gotta go play with VS.Net now...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got three because as we were walking out they asked "Does anyone want another bag?" I thought about it for about 3 seconds and said "ME ME ME ME"...and when I realized that XP was still in the bag....I asked for a third one....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Blue Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I doubt they gave you full VS.NET. XP Pro is easier to believe than that. FULL VS.NET is 2500 dollars (Architect Enterprise Edition is the FULL version). No way they gave you something worth that much for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
