Free VS 2005 Standard from Microsoft

[mwb1100]

Microsoft is again giving away copies of Visual Studio 2005 Standard to people who complete a couple of 'labcasts'.

Essentially, you download a couple of webcasts about how to use Visual Studio and/or .NET, fill out evaluation forms, and they'll send you a copy of VS 2005 Std (as it's a physical copy, you'll have to pay shipping):

See, if you just let us conquer Europe, you would qualify for these deals.
