As some of you know I recently attended a luncheon sponsored by the 800 lb Gorilla, Microsoft, announcing the release of Office 2003. I went through the developer track. Beside hearing some fine speakers on the product, and watching a wiz bang coder at work using C# and XML to make Office2003 sing, they actually fed me a fine little lunch.

Never the less, this being my first event to attend that was sponsored by MS I was a bit skeptical when I was told that I would receive several items just for having attended this rollout event.

Well, folks, today Microsoft Office 2003 Professional and One Note arrived in the mail. Add to that this fine little list of other things for those who went through my particular track:

1 copy of SQL server 2000 developer edition (and service pack 3)
1 Access2003 Developer Extensions
1 Visual Studio Tools for the MS Office System

I'd say Santa did just fine.

Best,
Jerry

Glad to hear you got some freebies that you could use my friend. My gift to a Taldren member arrived today, at least part of it anyway. It feels great knowing even though you are poor that you can help brighten another person's Christmas.

You're absolutely right. I got it as soon as it was released. I highly recommend this DVD.

I just got Office 2003 pro edition from work hehe

It's a full version and my friend from our IS department gave it to me as a favor. I LOVE the new spam options for outlook 2003...like 99% of my spam is now filtered.

Yeah, so far I'm really impressed. Did you get One Note with it too?

Oh, Stephen this is the best part. The luncheon was absolutely free.
