Hi John.

>I just saw that Tightline (iow Andy Kramek and Marcia Akins) is donating three huge licenses for Microsoft developer stuff, apparently valued at $11,000 each copy, to be won by attendees at SWFox. That's a very impressive thing to have done. Bravo.

>I suppose detractors may point out that these licenses were given to them by MS, but credit where credit is due: the copies are the recipients' to do with as they please and nobody forced them to donate copies to SWFox. So it really is full credit to AK and HA. Maybe other MVPs will follow their lead, allowing more SWFox attendees to walk away with massive swag!

I agree with you -- this was very generous of them.

MSDN subscriptions are great, because they give you copies of pretty much everything you'd ever want from Microsoft: operating systems like Vista and Server, Office, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and even VFP!
