Hey guys just thought I'd pass this along to anyone who hadn't seen it. I did this back when they released VS 2005 and got it. Very simple. Watch the webcasts (or even have them playing in the background) then do a quick survey. Do this for 2 of the webcasts and you get Standard for pretty much just a shipping cost (not sure how much that is).
Enjoy!

I also took advantage of this. And I didn't even have to sit through the wecasts..just started them up and then exited because I was out of time and patience. Sure enough the offer showed up in my email a week later and I snagged it for the $9 shipping fee. So it looks like they aren't real particular about how much you participate to get it.

This sucks. Just like nobody outside the US can program. Or like they don't care if non-US residents use their tools or not.

Sadly, this isn't available for us in Belgium. You have to be a US resident to be able to get them. This sucks. Just like nobody outside the US can program. Or like they don't care if non-US residents use their tools or not.

Yea, I actually watched a few (for me) useless webcasts to find out they don't ship outside the US. Plain mean...
