   Visual Studio 2010 launch event?
  I haven't heard much concerning any sort of launch event for Visual Studio 2010.  In the past for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 there was some sort of in-person type event in a lot of the major cities for Visual Studio around the time it came out.  It was an all day thing with sessions running in the morning, a lunch, and sessions in the afternoon (and sometimes a free movie after that, as the ones I've been to have been held in a theatre).  The best part was the free Standard copy of Visual Studio (or even SQL Server, back in 2005).I haven't heard anything about an event like this for Visual Studio.  Is Microsoft still doing this sort of thing?  Apparently there isn't any sort of Standard version of Visual Studio any more, so it makes me wonder if there was an event, if they'd be giving out anything at all.Have you guys/gals heard anything about a proper launch event?  Any searching on Microsoft's Events website hasn't produced anything, at least for the Calgary area.   
Looks like there will be one;  I was bummed that it wasn't free admission like the 2005 and 2008 events.  I'm such a cheapskate. :(   ;Quote:Original post by dmatterLooks like there will be oneUnfortunately nothing near me.  I don't see anything listed for Canada at all.Quote:Original post by NypyrenI was bummed that it wasn't free admission like the 2005 and 2008 events.  I'm such a cheapskate. :(Same.  Half the reason I went to the things was to get the free software for my machine at home.  School and work usually provide that sort of thing, but I do like to do development in my spare time.  I suppose there is always the Express editions...
