Visual Studio Express editions free for 1 year
Wow. Microsoft FINALLY gets it. Even if just a little bit.
For 1 year, starting Nov 7th, you can download and use any of the Visual Studio Express Editions for free.
I often said the only reason I’m experimenting with Cocoa development is that XCode comes with OS X for free. If I had to pay $400 for XCode, I wouldn’t be using it. In fact, Xcode for free is part of the reason I finally took the plunge and bought an Apple machine. I get to tinker for free!
Now, Microsoft has the chance to prove that they really get it by providing all of the free express editions ON THE VISTA RELEASE DVD. C’mon Microsoft, plant the seeds for a whole new generation of developers for your platform.
