You missed the ideal opportunity (unless there are any more to come) where they gave away VS2005 Pro edition to all attendees of the Launch tour, along with SQL Server 2005 Standard.

May be worth a visit to microsoft UK events to see fi anything else like this up and coming.

Express editions are downloable for free from MS. anyway.

Did that yesterday and discovered the C++ one doesn't have MFC and ATL (which I needed). At first look did seem like a worthwhile upgrade.

I've actually bought a copy of the real thing, but I'm also "acquiring" it in case the boxed copy doesn't turn up Monday. Unfortunately the "acquiring" is working at glacial speed so I'm not sure which is going to get here first.

MS Action Pack (199 + VAT) contains VS2005 Express Edition (if that's any good) plus full versions of Office 2003, XP Pro, XP64, Win 2003 Std, Visio, Project and lots lots more. Mine arrived within a week. Bit of a no-brainer really. If you're really tight there's always P2P...

VS2003-VS2005 upgrade

- Anybody know the cheapest way of doing this. Last one was some special deal from MS which was only 29$. Haven't found a way of doing it for less than 400gbp yet :-(

- Is there any where I can download the 90/180 day evaluations from. Trying the MS site it wants to mail me a DVD in 3 weeks.

Cheers,

Simon.
