          That was my thought too, but I dunno what the Standard Edition would cost, because I would not consider buying it. I've only looked at the incredible prices on the higher editions. I'll buy my copy when I get my next magazine article cheque, I can't afford to buy it from my regular pay.

In the case of VC++ the standard edition usually lacks profiling and optimizations (as was the case with VC++ 5 and 6). Something in the back of my head is telling me that VB.NET standard was cheaper than the other two, but I rarely trust what the back of my head tells me it lies too much :laugh: James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.

                  If you get the cheaper MSDN Professional version you get VS.NET too :) Its only VS.NET pro, but I don't need the other garbage from the Enterprise versions.

                    Actually, since you're a student you might want to look into academic pricing for VS.NET. The MS website is suggesting a price of $71 for VS.NET Pro. Of course this doesn't help you legally if you want to release something to the masses. James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.

                                    That's about right. In fact, if I read the ad they sent me correctly, all the Server products, too! I can't afford it, either, but I wish I could... I keep hoping somebody will send me a free copy. Last week I got a set from Oracle - JDeveloper, and Oracle8i Enterprise Edition. - I don't know why. But there's a copy of "Oracle8 The Complete Reference" on my shelf that I haven't read yet. Maybe I should!

Initially I was the opinion that once you have your subscription you can install whatever that comes along with the subscription and any number of people in the company can use them. I was wrong, the license says that Universal subscription is for a person, and this person can install software on the machines which are under his control and only one person can work on these machines at any point of time. So if your company is getting universal subscription, make the subscription licensed under your name, ie. theoritically its ur comp. that pays the subscription but is licensed for you, thatway u can install all of the msdn universal goodies. p.s these restrictions does not apply for the MSDN as such, it can be used by any no of people of a comp. regards Kannan

                                        That's about right. In fact, if I read the ad they sent me correctly, all the Server products, too! I can't afford it, either, but I wish I could... I keep hoping somebody will send me a free copy. Last week I got a set from Oracle - JDeveloper, and Oracle8i Enterprise Edition. - I don't know why. But there's a copy of "Oracle8 The Complete Reference" on my shelf that I haven't read yet. Maybe I should!

                                          True. But it's a lot more than you get with a VS.NET purchase, for only a few years' gross pay more! What a deal!!!
