    There is some discrepancy between the training kit's spacial data home page and the "SQL Server 2008 Spacial Support" presentation.  Both contradicts themselves as to what the differences between geography and geometry types are. In home page geometry = round and geography = flat, I am pretty sure this is wrong. Just wanted to point out.

    You are correct, that is a mistake in the home page.  We'll fix it in the next build.  Please email sqldevx@microsoft.com with your feedback and thanks for the comment.
