I won a copy of SQL 2005 at a user group last night.

I'm trying to figure out... was this good luck or bad luck?

Very good luck. The RTM version is about 3GB. That's a huge download for us MSDN subscribers.

No. Raffles are still scams. SamC works for an international consortium of rafflers, and every once in a while they need to parade a winner in front of the masses ;-).

I'm already bummed that it's not "Enterprise". You don't get the REINDEX without blocking users if you don't have the Enterprise version.

Regarding the raffle win, it was a little tilted. There were 40 people present and most purchased 1 ticket for two dollars.

I purchased twenty dollars worth, and won the draw. Funny thing is, you got to pick your "prize". Couple of vendor baseball hats, .NET Enterprise version (I'd have liked that), or SQL 2005 standard edition (couldn't pass it up).

Now a ski trip to Utah would have been interesting...
