I'm sure you've all heard the news that the express editions of visual studio are going to be permanently free. However Phil let me know about an ASP.Net promotion where you can get Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition and some otehr goodies for watching 3 webcasts. So for all of you who like to complain about the lack of features in the express products, here's your chance to upgrade for the cost of a few hours of your time. You have until June 30th 2006. If you want to know the differences check out the Visual Studio 2005 comparison grid.
