Register Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, get a free online book from MS Press

Microsoft Learning has partnered with the Visual Studio team to provide developers with additional incentive for registering Beta 2.  Developers who register their copy of Beta 2 will have access to a free developer title from Microsoft Press.  After downloading the Beta they receive an email telling them about the benefit, and encouraging them to register their Beta. When a user completes the registration process they will receive an email with a link to the online books, and an access code.  Each user will have access to one book per code.  Developers who register multiple SKUs of the Beta will receive additional access codes, giving them access to more books.  The offer is available worldwide, books are English-only.

Yahoo starts using captcha in yahoo mail...

I am using yahoo for email since 1998 for doing my personal emai... I tried to send an email to day and received this 

and then the error message...



They are completely out of their mind. You will not be able to stop spam senders by using captcha. Try to use something different and stop harassing users like me... I am sending no more than 3-4 emails per day, so I do not really understand why I need to prove that I am not the bad guy here.  

Now, I am done with using yahoo for email. It is time to switch gmail.

What's new in Visual Studio.NET 2005
