Event: Launch/InstallFest

Before they were "Guitar" heroes - 2008 Launch Event and Install Fest

Join the southampton crew for a night packed full of 2008 launch action. Our very own co-ordinators Rich and John will be joined by fellow community member Neil Robbins in a heroic triad of presentations covering the top 5 things you need to know about VS2008, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008.

But wait it doesn't end there though, this night will be starting a little earlier and finishing a little later to fit in our very own fun packed "Install Fest". What's an install fest I hear you say, well with the usual pizza and ti-swag-tanic amount of VS2008 products to give away we invite you to bring your laptops or desktops along with you and we'll have a mass install of the product. Whilst everyone is watching that little progress bar go up and up there will be various games including a special "XBox 360 - Guitar Hero 3" competition in which more prizes can be won.

If you can only make one launch event this Easter, make it the Southampton launch event and join us for what will be the most exciting 2008 pre-launch event that the south coast will see this year!
