Sucks it's $149, but I think I can get reimbursed for it. I went to their Vista/Exchange 2007/Office 2007 launch event, and it was great. I'd encourage anyone interested to get out there and check it out.

That's weird! Maybe they'll have cooler stuff to giveaway at that one? Only money mentioned on my registration was something about since they're offerring food and they don't want it to be construed as I guess bribing decision makers where you can check "I will mail a check of $50" or "I'm a public sector company" or "I will bring a letter stating it's okay".

I've seen that box before and it's just a way for them to cover their behinds so they can't be accused of courting purchases with free grub. Funny, nothing was mentioned of the swag they'll be giving away, LOL.
