Ed Bott, a good friend of mine, recently predicted that Windows 7 Beta bits are going to be publicly unveiled on January 13, during CES. Some late night scrounging around revealed that Windows 7 could be available sooner — via download links slipped into the next Microsoft Action Pack Subscription quarterly update kit, which starts shipping January 5, 2009. Word internally is that the beta build was already baked a while ago, we just have to be patient. Update (Dec 23): Microsoft has removed all mention of Windows 7 Beta.

Yeah, I got purely lucky in terms of the 'door' prize - only 5 per section were chosen out of at *minimum* 50 participants per section. Of course, it required you to complete the surveys, so that could have been as low as 25 - but still I lucked out well.
I was the next to last winner chosen, and it was a choice between those classes and a combo cam/mouse package.

Well, actually, that is a thing of interest too - I am a double major (Comp Sci and Math) and the last set of the classes featured a class on F# - a new programming language that is in development by M$ that is 100% interoperable with .NET and all the other VS languages, that is written *specifically* for Mathematics calculations and computations. Naturally, that is where I *planned* on ending the day from the moment I saw the agenda.
BTW - F# friggin rocks. It should be getting barely prevalent enough for me to do my complete Masters thesis on it for use in the Financial world, and seeing as I want to get into Financial Engineering, this could not have come at a better time.... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number The Beast Model V OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP1 | Windows 8 build 7989 CPU Core i7 965 EE @3.6 GHz Motherboard eVGA x58 Classified3 Memory 3 * 4GB Mushkin Enh Redline CL7 DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) Graphics Card eVGA 560 Ti 448 Core Calssified + eVGA GTX260 SSC (PhysX) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (onboard) Monitor(s) Displays 2 * Acer X213Wbd Screen Resolution 2 * 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Keyboard Mouse Logitech MX Revolution '06 PSU ThermalTake BlackWidow TX TR2 850 W Case ThermalTake Level 10 GT (Black) Cooling Corsair H100 CPU | 2 * TT 140mm TriLED | 2 * Antec TriCool Hard Drives 1 * Intel X-25M G2 80 GB SSD Sata II |
