MS Win Srvr 08 launch event (mumbai) - Live updates

lol iMAV , man i understand what you wrote , don't be jealous hahaha , GX : question skipped , sumit: the pleasure was all mine..

the best thing is MICROSOFT logo is printed on the back of the jacket and its about the same one that i saw at the showroom some time back hehe lol ...
another thing is that all the guys got a 1gb kingston pen drives , which was good enough as the event was free of cost including complementary snaks , drinks and lunch...

GX : dude you really missed the action , we two UGLs were sitting on the reserved seats and none else was present...

Hmm.. Food was good, presentations were ok (the main guy who hogged the stage for the most time sucked). Server 08 is most definitely the best OS made by MS ever. What i hated most was that cheesy "heroes" song Also why the hell did MS give us RC of server 08, which is gonna expire on april 7th! (i feel your pain iMav) They could have at least given everyone a trial copy of the RTM! Overall, the event was great! Just the management part was not up to the mark.

P.S. Was nice meeting ya shantanu

it was a great event there, i got the RBK jacket lolzz it was cool and also windows server 2008 enterprise + visual studio team suite and sql sevrer 2008 developer edition.. and that too FULL .. it was the same that they gave away as in Quiz to 2 people.. lolzz , VJ gaurav was awesomely cool, movie sucked..

...but then again, that jacket is no match for the "Wrangler" one you had already eh?!!

The event was good..fun rather..wanna get my hands dirty with VS 2008 with some interesting features they have added. Though, I wish they wouldn't have tortured us with an insanely sad movie at the end while they themselves scrammed away! Sheesh, you should have seen them running as soon as the presentations were over, presumably for 2 reasons:
1. Not to be caught hold by someone for watching the movie alongside.
2. Be the first ones to get in queue for lunch (yes, it was "supposedly" poolside and an endless line of people eagerly waiting to dig into more "free" stuff)
