Re: [Flexradio] Free visual Studio 2008
Look around and see if you can find an installfest in your neighbiorhood! Or skip the msft speech, and download and install VS.NET 2008 Express Edition for free any time you want. The Express Editions are the same (optimizing) compiler and linker, and just have a few enterprise features removed (like the ability to debug an executable running on a remote machine). Other than that... identical. I actually PREFER the packaging of the Express Edition. The help is focused on a specific language and support routine, and I find it easier to use, de Peter K1PGV ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/

This is MSVS PROFESSIONAL not Express and it is free. It will fully support CLI and other things not supported by Express. If you have the time, and one is nearby, do it.

Have they changed the license agreement on the free copies handed out?
It used to be that while the actual software was the same as the
paid for product, you could only use it for evaluation, and not for
production of anything that would be distributed, or for which you
received compensation. {I can see them having changed their
philosophy.. It's not the development tools they make their money with.}
I tried to find the license agreement on MS website, but they don't
make it easy.

Re: [Flexradio] Free visual Studio 2008
The trial is for you to use until they send you the real Pro
version in a few weeks. I did not see any limitations on the trial but
I am sure there are no limitations on the one that they mail to you.

[Flexradio] Free visual Studio 2008
For the cheapskates out there (sri, that was a joke), Microsoft is sponsoring Installfests in various locations in conjunction with local dotnet clubs where they hand out the 90 trial of the professional version of VS2008 along with a link and code that will get you a free version of the pro version via snail mail. Of course, you listen to abt 30 minutes of sales pitch (and it can take an hour to install VS2008 pro even on a fast machine, but it looks really nice. Just the javascript capabilities alone make it very interesting. Look around and see if you can find an installfest in your neighbiorhood! 73 Neal ___ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Knowledge Base: http://kb.flex-radio.com/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com/
