Longhorn and Whidbey Previews available to MSDN Subscribers

Tuesday, October 28, 2003

Good news !

MSDN Operating Systems, Professional, Enterprise, and Universal subscribers who were unable to attend the show may request a set of software distributed at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference 2003, including the preview versions of the Longhorn operating system and SDK, and Visual Studio "Whidbey".
Eligible MSDN Subscribers can request the previews by calling MSDN Customer Service. Certified Partners and Breadth ISV / Empower partners should contact their respective Service Centers for further assistance. Please note that the preview package contains DVD media, and a DVD drive is required.

UPDATE:

Just applied from Dublin, talk to somebody here in Microsoft Ireland, hurry becuse if you are in Ireland, they just have 400 packages, and already have orders for 200 !

alternatively you could pull it off IRC or edonkey and avoid the delay......

It's not exactly piracy, as no-one is seriously using this for real work.

You think MS in Ireland are going to do any developer showings of Whidbey etc. in the near future?

Surely yes but I think we can't expect something before the betas or maybe the final release candidate !

Just a thanks, mate! Just placed my order, but would not have known it was available w/out your note.
