I ordered one on 04/18 and have not received one yet. Order status indicated Back Ordered with 04/18/05 date and Issue with Order with 04/28/05 date. Both appear when I view order summary. No response from their customer service either...

 

[modedepe]

Ordered it, free for me. Thanks!

Where did you go to check up on the order status?

 

[bupkus]

I ordered but was charged shipping. I guess your Messenger ID will tell them if you're an MSN subscriber.
I'm using Express for now. I have VS.net 2002 so it would pay to upgrade when the retail becomes available.
Was there a greater change from 2002 to 2003 or from 2003 to 2005?
Thanks, OP.

 

[Axoliien]

Thanks OP, I got an email about this a while back and ordered, about 2 months ago. Still waiting and hoping.

supposed to be a greater change from 2003 to 2005

 

[pkp413]

1. 2005 is bigger change over 2003 than 2003 was over 2002.

2. Could not have ordered this 2 months ago- Beta 2 was not released then!

3. Order confirmation email has a link to lookup order status.

4. Got email back from Microsoft customer service, there is a 4-6 week delay in shipping these out.

 

[YellowMP5]

just ordered and it was free. maybe they charge shipping depending on your answers?

 

[wiredspider]

ordered and it was free, maybe it is on your answers...

 

[nbarb99]

Ordered it, free all the way. Thanks OP

 

[bupkus]

SOOB! What BS answers did I need to avoid shipping. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to buy the Academic version when it comes out. **Grumbles to himself "put it in my @ss will they" grumbles some more**
Oh, well, it's free.

 

[unhuman]

[Blazin Trav]

Free for me as well.

I live in CA.

Thank you.

Update!
got my cd today.

thanks

 

[gshock888]

got ityesterday

what do i do with it now

 

[royaldank]

Got mine on Tuesday. Also comes with a 365-day release of SQL 2005 (which integrates a TON with .NET 2.0).

Good stuff. ASP.NET 2.0 is some impressive stuff.

I got it a couple of days ago. The full version is much better than the Express editions since it has backwards .NET 1.0/1.1 compatibility, and 64-bit support on the DVD. Finally a decent (& kind of free) 64-bit compiler for Windows.

 

[ncage]

Yep i got it too. Considering it was free this is awesome. Im about to go to DevCon at the end of this month. This will help me get ready. Even if i had to pay for shipping i most likely would have ordered it

 

[DaFidj]

Got mine on the 16th. A nice surprise that was long forgotten

 

[WorldTraveller]

I missed this when originally posted. I just got in on it & ordered it. Hope I receive it in a few weeks. I can use it! Thanks ncage!

 

[SALvation]

I got mine also. Will this install over Visual Studio 2003 or will it be a separate program? I want to install it but I want to make sure I can still use VS2003 for my normal production coding.

 

[mscdex0]

I got my 2 cds and 1 dvd in the mail two days ago. Haven't installed it yet though

Thanks again OP!
