I have been looking in the forums and see a lot of .net and NFR software. What exactly is this? I know that MS gave out some software, like Visual Studio, at conferences. What is the real differance in this type of software.???????
What exactly is .net and NFR software???????

The version that they gave out that the Microsoft conferences was Visual Studio.NET. It's the newest version of Visual Studio and allows you to integrate programming languages (that's what the MS guys told us 
). The software that they gave out is NFR, meaning not for resale. If you sell it, you violate the license agreement. There really is no difference between retail and not for resale software except for the license agreements.

Like ojai00 said but to add, normally NFR software can be sold to LARS (Large account resellers) and MSCP's (Microsoft Channel Partners). I work for Compaq and they are Channel partners which entitles me to purchase NFR software. For example I bought XP Pro full version not the upgrade for $96 Cdn. which normally sells at Future Shop for $399.
The conditions that come from buying this software is that you not sell it and for it to be for personal use or demos, not a business. Unfortunately some LARS or MSCP employees buy the original microsoft NFR software and do sell it to make a profit. It's people like that, that will eventually get us cut off from this program.

Microsoft sent me the following by Email on Friday:
