    Ever since I was about 13 or 14 I dreamed of having Visual Studio. I wanted it so bad but I couldn't afford it. When I was 15 I scored Visual C++ 6.0 and VB 6.0 but it wasn't complete. I also had (still have) every version of Visual Basic up to 5.0. I even have the VB 1.0 for DOS. After getting into .NET and C# a package arrived at my door with Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition complete with MSDN. I was very excited. It was a dream come true.

          Depending on your local office there may be ways to get it for free. When VS2005 was released MS UK gave everyone a free version if they attended the MSDN Launch events around the UK. I left with a free copy of SQL Server 2005 Standard and Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

            Here's a full list: OK, now you know. ( actually, I have no idea, but it does seem to me like C++ support is fading )

              Not to be bitchy, but does anybody at Microsoft write software anymore?

                I was able to score a legitimate copy of Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and a book on migrating to ASP.NET 2.0 all for free (even the shipping). I had to watch 3 webcasts, I just clicked them and closed them. I didn't even watch them. After about 3 weeks I received a box in the mail containing a real complete legit copy of VS2005. Maybe there will be promotions like that for VS2008.

                        No he doesn't. Mind you Kyle is a what as well as a who. A Kyle may or may not necessarily actually be Kyle. A Kyle is also a Troll. It gets easier the longer you're on the forums.
