Why does the VS express registration system keep requiring me to provide my "business" contact info when I've explicitly told the form that I'm a student and therefore those fields are meaningless? MS didn't require that I provide this info previously, why do they suddenly require it now? Also, I think the UI is ugly from what I've seen. All caps text in the menu bar, really now? Even QBasic had lower case letters in its menu bars.
I think I'll stick to VS 2010 until the interface doesn't scorch my eyes and the registration system doesn't ask me questions that don't apply to me.
