DEAD - Free Microsoft Software for attending seminar

[Pepsei]

i went to the seminar in richmond. you get a ticket for a microsoft cooler bag containing (bottle water, orange, 2 honey almond bars, 1 muffin, 1 bottle of apple juice), one bag per person per day (so it counts as your lunch too). i left immediately to pick up a copy of age of conan, came home to install it. will go back to seminar at 11:30 am to get my free software (you get another ticket to turn in for free software), then go to work.

Just got back from seminar (went to Infrastructure IT Pro, half day), actually left a hour early like most people when we found out we could get our free software. Got Vista Ultimate + SP1 with it. Server 2008 Enterprise is a 1 year evaluation copy, but the ms guy said the software doesn't stop working after 1 year, you just can't get any support from microsoft. SQL Server 2008 isn't out until later in the year so you get a code to download the software when it's available.

Don't know what i'm gonna do with the software, vista is the only thing that's useful to me, but hey, it's free !

Here is what you do with that Sever OS, turn it into a workstation OS that looks and works like Vista 64 for the most part: http://www.win2008workstation.com/wordpress/

I went to yesterday's Tampa event, which was well attended and nicely done. Server 08, Visual Studio 08, SQL Server 08 are November 2007 versions. You can download more recent builds. A few questions:

As noted above and just to confirm, MS Server 08, Visual Studio 08, SQL Server 08 are not limited evaluations?
Will keys work with more recent downloaded versions?
Any consensus on how to get 64-bit Vista Ultimate installed with our keys?

So i know this is a big big longshot.... but if anyone went and got Server2008 they arent going to use I really could use it for a non-profit I am helping out. If you are game LMK..

I have one I could sell to you for $75

For those interested in installing the 64-bit ultimate, Seems the Vista key would work on Vista SP1 media but not on RTM media.
Am yet to try it personally.

I got my SQL Server 2008 Standard promotinal disc via mail thru voucher redemption when the event didn't have it on the handout.
