LORD_ORION Yes... that will get you some good will with all Canadians. Travel to Montreal only.Reply
Fail.
1st no VS 2010 Launch Events in Canada, No VS2010 standard, a VS2010 upgrade path to pro that screws everyone (did I mention that the VS2010 upgrade price from Vs 2008 standard to pro is $200 more for CDNs?).
Wow.... really don't want to do business in Canada anymore hrmmm? -
