I told you back in Janurary about Microsoft giving away Server 2008, SQL server 2008, and Visual Studio 2008 at the lauch events.
Well, I went last week to the Launch in Charlotte NC, and it’s true!
Plus, as a bunus, they gave away a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate
(32bit) too!

The Launch was very informative, and I’m having fun playing around with Server 2008!

Thanks Microsoft!

Microsoft has released Windows Server 2008 to manufacturing today.
