If you need another reason to attend Southwest Fox, here it is!

Micromega Systems, the developer of Foxfire! Query and Report Writer, has just announced they will be awarding copies of their hot new (about-to-) release, Foxfire! v8+ Web Developer’s Edition to EVERY ATTENDEE who registers before Saturday, October 8, 2005. If you’re already signed up, you don’t have to do anything more. You qualify automatically.

This is not a beta or a restricted license, but a regular license for their Web Developer’s Edition, which will have a regular retail price of $495. That means you can practically attend the conference for free.

Why are they doing this? They want to get the word out about their new product. And they are so sure it will blow your sox off, they aren’t afraid to give some away to generate a buzz.

They did insist on an opportunity for a little gratuitous promotion, and for that much of a conference perk, I couldn’t refuse. So here it is (the opinions expressed herein are those self-serving opinions of Micromega, and not those of the producers of Southwest Fox):

Foxfire! v8+ is the next generation report writer. It blows the sox off anything else in its class, in function, value and price. Its live design surface and geek-speak-free interface enables ordinary business users to design and deploy all kinds of reports, spreadsheets, pivot tables, data extracts and much more on both the Windows Desktop or the WWW.

The Web Developer’s edition includes report design tools for both windows and web report design. It also includes a special edition of the new Foxfire! Web Server, a .NET and com based technology that will allow you to design and test both Win and Web reports prior to deploying them to your customers.
