It's Launch Day today in Phoenix and Seattle for Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008. We on The Code Trip wanted to be a part of the launch wave, so we did up an advertisement for Windows Server 2008 when we were on campus a while back. For reasons unbeknownst to us, our ad was given the thumbs down. Here is our rejected ad... just don't tell anybody you saw it here.

Lynn Langit

LOL - and you know the next release will be EVEN BIGGER, because...that's what we do!

James Johnson

Crud... and I was drinking milk when I saw that. NICE!

Matt Penner

Hehe, and that was just the Standard edition. I wonder if I can even fit Enterprise in my, uh, enterprise. :)

Lance Fisher

Nice! I guess you have a bunch of those boxes left over after launch. Do people take them home? That's pretty funny.

Stephen Rose

Were gonna need a bigger boat!

Fred Morrison

I am unable to play the video. I've tried IE 7, Safari and Firefox. They all experience the same error: Silverlight error message ErrorCode: 4001 ErrorType: MediaError Message: AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR How can I eliminate the above error so I can view the video?

Erin Jacobs

This is hysterical. Woody might've missed his calling in Hollywood.

Fred, what version of Silverlight do you have installed? If you don't have either Silverlight v1.0 or 2.0 Beta 1 installed (i.e. you have an alpha of 1.1, a CTP, or something else), try uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight.

Hey Now, That is a pretty funny one. Thx, Catto
