Got to link to this one, just heard about VS.NET 2005 Express products which are still in Beta. A simple explanation fo this product is
“
The Express products, expanding the Visual Studio product line to include lightweight, easy-to-use, easy-to-learn tools for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and novices who want to build dynamic Windows applications and Web sites.”
Now this is awesome I think, I don't know how much this will support, but atleast for the people who cannot afford to buy the whole VS.NET package or who just want to get started learning it, this will be an awesome oppurtunity. It can be found at
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/ at this stage.
