well, you get a bit more out of it than that in the form of help and guidance into the innerworkings of the OS and where they are heading with it. The price is small in the big picture of things. Usually Apple treats attendees to a few nice treats in a tote bag. Nothing too extravagant though. And then there is of course the party on the apple campus and stuff. It's a fun and information filled couple of days.

Unless you're an OS X developer, WWDC will be an almost total waste of your time.

If you are an OS X developer though, WWDC kicks major butt. I have WWDC '03 and '04 DVD sets and have found them very useful. I was at '04 but unfortunately I did not get to attend the tech sessions in person.

The $2k is a nice tax write-off too, if you're a developer. For many, it's something they pay for out of pocket. Hell I'd go if I had the chance. Just to see what's coming.
