Canadian Developer Connection

I hope this also applies to the Montréal leg of the show.  I attended with an employee of mine and we were both disappointed when no copies were given out.

Thank you.

Nice!

I have to admit a tinge of jealousy when I saw that our American counterparts were getting a free copy of Office.  No longer!

Thanks for the update, but I think it is kind of unfair.

I always submit the evaluation form with my email and name but I don;t put my address...it is unfortuante that I will miss out on the software just becaz of that.

When doing the registation they have the complete profile/address/email (all the required info).

I was more thatn jealous, I felted 'taken' and second class.  I have attended launch events for past few years and enjoyed every one, but most of all enjoyed receiving my own copy of Office and always bought a few more copies for family and friends, but most important, because of the time I had to learn the changes and improvements, made a point of recommending same to all my customers.

I did however, believe that MS would come around and treat us Canadian's with the same respect as our US cusins.

So, I'll be looking forward to receiving a my copy of Office 2007 and for the record, I did buy a copy after my trial ran out becase I needed more time to complete eveluation.

I deeply regret that work caused me to miss this. <sigh>

Glad to hear it! I definitely submitted the evaluation (always do) but I don't remember if I filled in the address portion.  

Is there a way to find out if my name is on the list of people to receive the launch pack?

Regards,

Joel.

I can't remember if I did the evaluation or not. Is there someplace where I can find out if I did?

I'd honestly be more interested in a free copy of Vista than Office, but I doubt that my poor little computer would survive the upgrade.

But yeah, I'd like to chip in that I was pretty surprised that unlike other launches I've attended that copies weren't given out right at the event, and that nobody knew what was happening with that. Even if there isn't anything like copies being handed out or distributed afterwards, it'd be really good to at least know what's happening.

Thank you. Classy.

Michael.

By the way, will the packages be arriving by snail mail or e-mail? It's a pretty dumb question to ask, given that mention of "name and address" above, but I still have to ask, just to be sure.

One of the great things about attending Microsoft events, especially their launch events, is that you almost invariably walk out of the place with some quality software for free. Back in 2005 when the latest version of Visual Studio was released, attende

Has anyone received their kit yet? I have yet to receive mine. I'm probably over excited waiting for it.lol

I was talking with Christian on Tuesday, actually, and he told me that there was a delay in getting them to send out. But they should be arriving quite shortly now that the delay is out of the way. (Hey, that rhymed.)

Suprisingly the  day after I ask, I receive my kit, comes with a key included an a address to download office. THANKS MS :)

Thank you, Microsoft team, for the complimentary Launch 2007 evaluation kit!

Unfortunately, I received yesterday evening only a notice that the parsel was sent back to Microsoft.

Why you are using Canpar for delivery?

This company simply can't do their job - when I called them the same evening I got a notice, they only informed me that they can't deliver it.

Please use Canada Post - I could always come to Post Office in the evening, but I can't wait at home whole day for Canpar delivery.

Thanks!
