Last November I reported that Microsoft was releasing free Visual Studio one year licenses. Today Microsoft announced that all Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions including Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual J#, Visual C++, and Visual Web Developer Express will be free permanently!
Since November over 5 million copies of Express have been downloaded.
Welcome to johnhesch.com, a blog about my life, projects, and interests. I have been blogging for over 10 years in one form or another.
A friend told me about this but I wasn’t able to figure out the limitations between the express edition and full versions. I do a lot of Pocket PC programming and it barely works on the full version LOL, so I haven’t gotten up the nerve to install the express version.
If you have any info on the differences, do tell.
Brad, there is a real nice product comparison page on Microsoft’s website located here. This should tell you everything you need to know.
