Free Microsoft Commercial Developer Tools
Renegade:
MS is pretty good with their licensing. If you haven't heard of them, check out the Empower Program or the Action Pack. Both very good deals.

Some other companies supply software to students with expiring licenses so that the software actually becomes unusable without revalidation and a new license code.-Carol Haynes (February 21, 2008, 04:12 AM)

That wasn't what I meant - just that your (legal) license to use the products are terminated when you're no longer a student. I recall having talking about this issue with Jibz (for older Office and Visual Studio), and I'm pretty sure he pointed out part of the license that said your license was terminated when you're no longer a student.

Note also that there's still a month or so left on their Office-2007-Ultimate-for-$59.95 student deal. Frankly, if you need more than one of these applications, it's probably saving money if you sign up for a couple courses at your local community college. I'm fortunate enough to already be taking classes anyway :Thmbsup:.
