Sure, and while they are at it they should give all delegates a Surface Book, 5 free t-shirts, and a hooker for the week. On Fri, 23 Oct 2015 at 11:28 Tom Rutter wrote: > If Im paying 2000 for the event at the very least I'd expect an msdn sub > given to me > > On Friday,

Yeah, Developers (like many people) are tight arses / poor bastards. I almost didn't go because of the ticket price, but got a Bizspark discount. Microsoft need a freelancer/sole dev ticket price for the non corporate people who are paying for it themselves. It also extends into tools. How many
