I'm a freshman in high school, and I got the codes I needed to be able to download applications from Microsoft's DreamSpark. Setting it all up was fairly easy, however, I told some of my "fellow geek friends" at school about this, and they've had some problems with setting it up. I'm now running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition in a virtual machine on my MacBook where I am now beginning to create my own applications within Visual Basic 2008 Professional Edition all for free! If I weren't a student (or had I not known about this), this would have cost me $2030!! Thanks, Chris, for informing me (and everybody else) about this!!! I really love Apple's product design, operating system, and media software, but I'm now beginning to like Microsoft more (despite the fact that Vista 32-bit runs slower than &%$# in BootCamp on my same aluminum MacBook which runs Leopard extremely fast) after seeing Microsoft offer DreamSpark to students and allow me to expand and be creative by creating my own applications for their platform-free of charge!

Minus a few things, they give all those things away free anyways. As a developer, I like the idea of XNA, but, it's not where it needs to be, and compared to Direct X, it's barely an afterthought.http://www.microsoft.com/Express/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570309.aspx Wanna know something awesome?

They have to combat Open Source options and what a better way than to give the stuff away. Then they are well positioned as these are the only tools the new developers will know.Not sure I would give cudos to MS. This is just a way to keep the monopoly alive.
