Come'On guys! There has to be a catch. If its all free and all retail version, ComponentOne,Dundas etc will go bust and go out of Business. I am sure MS cannot pay these companies for a life-time free supply of these companies's controls. If it is all true, why is ComponentOne,Dundas web sites still selling these controls? You Get it???????????? The free thingy does not explain this. If everything is freely available, why are these companies still SELLING these controls in their website? - they should have closed it down by now!

Now I see why Indian outsourcing rates start at US$ 4 per hour! Keep it up and enjoy the independance day!
