    [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes either. Microsoft are giving away software for free!

    I'm on the Microsoft Technet Ireland mailing list, and got this email (see quote below)

    To get the free licence, you have to go to the event. To go to the event, you must register. To register, you have to join Technet (free). To join Technet, you have to have a .net passport.

    A bit messy I know, but FREE VISTA! Crikey.

    See you all there lads!
