ANN: Free PDF books for registered users of Visual Studio 2005I just wanted to let you know that if you have registering Visual Studio 2005 finally has some benefits. You can get electronic PDF books about Visual Studio 2005 and some other stuff. For example, the updated book "Working with Visual Studio 2005" by Craig Skibo and others (previously "Inside Visual Studio .NET 2003"), is finally accesible for registered users (MSDN subscribers at least). As you may know, this book is not on sale (a MS Press decision) and previously you needed to buy a boxed copy of VS 2005 to get it in the package. Now the book is available in PDF format registering your copy of VS 2005. There is also another book about Visual Studio 2005 Team System. - The registration benefits are described at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/regbenefits/ - To actually register your copy, open VS 2005, click the "Help" \ "Register Product." menu, receive an e-mail and follow the steps. This time it works (some weeks ago some books were missing), I got my copy. Best regards, Carlos J.

Bummer, I can't get around the error... IE also brings up the same error. Fudge.
