This event "SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, BizTalk 2006 Launch Tour” was held today in Vancouver and I just missed. Went there too late after my friend told me I can check in right in front of the door. I did register it a while ago but was told I was in the waiting list because all the sessions were full. Actually I was not that kine to those kind of sessions but realized what I missed after my friend told me what he got from the event. All software (SQL 2005 and Visual Studio 2005) given away from the event are not an evaluation copy but seems a real copy instead. Haven't actually looked at it but if it is that was really really really a big lose.
Now since all events in other cities across United States are all full, if you didn't get one, don't worry, just head over to the place where holding the event. You should be able to check in and get all those copies.
