Hi,



obviously that has a limited time license and will expire later on

* why not download the Personal Edition beta which is (and will remain from
what I understand) for free:

If I recall correctly, doesn't the express edition expire, too?




I've looked everywhere and I can't find that they expire (Not to say they don't). Microsoft's "trial editions" always expire after six months, give or take, but do their Betas? Their so-called "CTP's" (Monthly snapshots of dev) are replaced a month later by the next CTP and so on, and the Beta is just a more tested and mature version. Their dev model is looking more and more open-source-ish... though I'm certain they'll never actually release the code, though they'll be happy for heavy developors to file bug reports in the CTP's :-P.
Can anybody give me a link where it actually says that the Enterprise Beta expires after a period? Or maybe something that says you can't use it in production (Read: for-profit) environments? I've got VS 2002 academic, which is only good for educational and open-source-ish stuff by the license. Mono is great, but I'm holding out for Winforms before I'm a complete convert :-P.
Anywho, that's me 2c,
SigmaX
