Visual Studio 2008 Professional Install-fests
At the install-fests you'll get a copy of the installation DVD at the beginning of the meeting. Bring your laptop, and install away! It's as simple as that!
The install DVDs will have evaluation copies of Visual Studio 2008 Professional RTM on them (the finals aren't pressed yet). Each DVD has a special code and URL on it where you can go to obtain the full product key. The key can then be used to "unlock" the evaluation install later without you needing to re-install it.
