Went to the Launch event in San Antonio this morning, pretty informative if you aren't familiar with Server 2008 at all. Lots of cool new features, it's just getting your company to upgrade sooner rather than later.  HyperV is still in Beta though, will get Final via Windows Update when it's released.
The freebies are what Padraic listed above.
Server 2008/VS 2008/SQL 2008
Vista Ultimate w/SP1 |

| Glad to hear it. While the freebies are going to be *awesome*, I'm genuinely interested in learning more about Server 2008 and SQL 2008. |

You can get the full versions without paying anything... Windows products are shipped with trial until 240 days
Visual Studio 2008 works for 90 days for example!
in 3 months you can do marvelous things |

| I'm going tomorrow afternoon - at least that's when I think I'm supposed to go. There's stuff in the morning, but the developer track is the afternoon, with an afternoon registration, so I'm assuming I can just go then. |

I went to the demo yesterday. I was in a little deep with the SQL Server demo, as I haven't used it before, but I still feel like I took away a fair amount of knowledge. I was most impressed by the Visual Studio 2008 demo and the cool stuff they are making available and possible with that.
And, of course, I loved my bag o' goodies. |

| I think they're trying to get away from the individual launch events and go with a model of mixed training/demos/marketing. Even though SQL Server 2008 isn't out yet, we got the most current RC and a code to get the full version once it's released. It seemed to work rather well, but then I haven't been to any past launch events. |
