Loads and loads of things happened this week at PDC. I'll try to blog a bit more about what I personally saw and I liked, but one thing has been brought to my attention that I'd like to share with the 8 or 9 of you that follow me.

We made Visual Studio 2010 and the .NET Framework v4.0 available at PDC 2008 this past week. In addition to making it available to attendees, a VPC is also available; download it here (as of this writing, the download is currently unavailable and will be restored soon).

The quick note part of this very short blog entry is that when you use the VPC you will encounter some software activation messages. You should largely be able to ignore the messages and still be able to use the VPC. If you'd like to read more about the activation messages, Brian Keller wrote a post on dealing with the activation messages, which is how I became aware of them.
