Microsoft will begin running SQL Server 2005 webcasts on December 6th. Initially, there will be 15 webcasts that introduce the new features of SQL 2005. Starting in January, they will be showing at least 1 webcast per week, focusing on specific developer topics.
Everyone who attends a webcast will receive a copy of the Beta 2 Resource Kit. They will also receive a copy of the Beta 3 Resource kit when it ships. In addition, the first 1,500 people to watch 5 or more webcasts will receive a special SQL 2005 t-shirt. All webcast viewers will be entered in a drawing to win an XBox. (One XBox for each day of the week.)
Full rules can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/SQL/WebcastRules.aspx.
