Gotta love that they provide an excellent development environment at a fair price and then provide a free version that also gives a great development experience. Or did you want the free version to be exactly the same as the paid version? This whole freetard sense of entitlement gives me the sh*ts. </rant> You get compared with the competition. So, we're looking at Android and Apple. Android's is open and free, Apple's xcode is free. Hard for Microsoft to compete with that, unless they give VS away too, and look at making money via appstore revenues. THat appears to be where Apple and Android are going. Compared to this, are Microsoft really making much out of VS revenue? -- Meski http://courteous.ly/aAOZcv "Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex.
