[AccessD] The 2008 "stuff"

What the presenter told us at the event is that with the 2008 Server, it
says it is a one-year eval copy.  But he said that this copy has a modified
EULA that allows it to be used perpetually in a non-production environment.
He said the reason was that if they had given us a regular full copy, they
would have to give us a 1099 for next year's taxes for the tune of about
$3000.

I do not see on the packaging anything about Vista being time limited.  All
my says is that it is not for resale.  But I have not tried to install it
yet.

It was 1 year for me too.  We shall see what that means.  Do you suppose
they will refuse to work after that?

I am actually considering installing that Vista Ultimate on my laptop.  My
laptop has been acting strangely and I just got an entire replacement from
Dell.  I am looking at a clean install of the Vista Ultimate on one hard
drive and Xp Pro on another.  Then later perhaps move both to virtual
machines.

I have recently started using VS 2008 at work.  I am to create 2 web
services, 2 data layers, and 2 service agents to be called from an in-house
app.

I just got back from the event today.  I was surprised to find a copy of
Vista Ultimate in addition to the VS 2008, SQL 2005, and Server 2008
Enterprise.

Subject: [AccessD] The 2008 "stuff"

I just got back from the intro event and am wondering who is using this
stuff.  I got released 2008 Visual Studio as well as released Windows
Enterprise 2008 (x32 and x64).  The SQL Server is not released however with
a February CTP available (which I am downloading) in x32 and x64.

So has anyone installed this and using it for real?

Also does anyone have any knowledge about how this stuff will fit into the
Action Pack?  At this time SQL Server 2005 and Windows 2003 is the available
there.
