Get your free NetBeans CD at http://www.netbeans.org/about/cd-form.html. The CD NetBeans worldTour CD includes the NetBeans IDE 5.5, NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.5, NetBeans Profiler 5.5 and Sun Java System Application Server 9.0_1 Platform Edition.

The CD, according to the site contains versions for Windows, Linux, Solaris x86, Solaris SPARC and Mac OS X.

I requested for a copy in February which was shipped on 20th March and I received it on 30th April after the pack was "missent" to Singapore. It is for real! The Developer Tools CD contains only Sun Studio 11, Sun Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1, Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 and Netbeans 5.0 and not 5.5. Only the Solaris on SPARC and x86 are included. You might be lucky to get the Linux or Windows version if Solaris is not your development environment. I must add that the software is freely available to download from Sun's and Netbeans side. It makes sense where it is impossible to download from a slow link.

Yeah , it sure is for real cos I just got my free copy last week. Took a while to get down here, though
