I just downloaded Visual Studio.net Professional for free

[Nocturnal]

My school has a license agreement with Microsoft. I was so jealous because most people here can get it for $5.00 on cd (I can too if I want to waste $5.00 on a cd-r) instead I opted for the download option. Now I have VS.net 2003 pro. Woot!

My school did the same thing... Except I remember we were specifically prohibited from having the physical installation media... we could keep it on our computers for as long as we wanted after we graduated though. Any Microsoft program other than Office.

The company I work for has a world licence for 6.0, but not .NET. I gotta see when they are gonna upgrade.

I got it for free from the MS .net release in Mass. but I never had any use for it.

Yeah for some reason we can get XP, VS.net and a few other programs but we cannot get Office. I already own 2003 so it doesn't matter anyway.

Why would you want .net instead of VC++ 6.0?

Because we aren't real programmers and since we don't know much about VB we just want the highest version of that software to say that we have the highest version of that software




<--uses vim

I have an MSDN Universal subscription, so I just grab it off DVD or download it from MSDN subscriptions. I'm not sure what I'd do without it...

Sure, I understand how you're getting it. Just making a joke since in my experience it's compared to 6.0.

But then again, I don't use it for any windows programming

So I take it you go to a public school eh? No private schools get perks like that

I got mine through work, didnt have to download it or waste money on a CD-R

Considering that the .NET runtime only runs on Windows, I can imagine your experience with .NET would be if you weren't using it for Windows programming.

VS.NET doesn't fit on one CD. It fits on a DVD, if that's what you mean.

he probably meant 'multiple CDs'. i think i downloaded 3+ GB for VS .NET 2003.

Question is... how many of you will actually use VS.NET ?

I work in VS.NET every day for my ASP.NET websites. I like .NET a lot better than VS 6.
