Visual Studio 2005 - FREE

That's right, you can now get a free version of Visual Studio 2005 from Microsoft.

From the way I read their FAQ, you have 1 year to download them at no cost. After that year, you will not have to pay a license fee, so they stay free.

You can read all about it here.

Here is a quote from their page about these "Express Editions".

Lightweight, easy-to-use, and easy-to-learn tools for the hobbyist, novice, and student developer.
You can get Express Editions for:

Visual Basic 2005
Visual C# 2005
Visual C++ 2005
Visual J++ 2005
SQL Server 2005
Visual Web Developer 2005
If you are interested in programming and want to upgrade your software library, now is the time.
