I have been working on a bit of an evening project recently. Setting up a website to support Computer Problems in the Warminster, Westbury and Frome areas of Wiltshire. The site is written using Visual Studio 2005 professional (See earlier post on where I got this from, thanks Microsoft). Site is currently in state of change.  I am currently investigating how to get the site crawled by Googlebot and other search engines. My intention is for a local user to be able to type something like "Computer Solutions Frome" or "Computer Repairs Warminster" and the site to appear high in search engine listings.

Just by attending one of the Visual Studio 2005, Sql Server 2005 and Biztalk 2006 Launch events, Microsoft kindly sent me the following free software.

Visual Studio 2005 Professional
SQL Server 2005 Standard
Biztalk 2006

Thats nearly £2,500 for just the first 2. (Biztalk 2006 has not yet been released).
There is also a free exam voucher for one of the new Microsoft Certifications.

Thanks Bill.
