Visual Studio .NET 2003
Hey I never said it was worse or better (actually I like the .NET libaries). I was just pointing out that the RAD part of VC++ .NET is only avalible if you use .NET.

If you missed the rebate though, the cost is kind of steep anymore if you''re only using C++.
Personally, I''m still annoyed by Microsoft''s decision to drop the professional version of Visual C++.
I will have to check (which I will not get round to doing until I get a new motherboard... fucking capacitors decided to emit their magic smoke on Friday night) but I believe that the WinXP DDK contains the optimizing C++ compiler. I don''t think it''s downloadable any more, but if memory serves, it''s available for cost of media and shipping.
This may provide a cost-effective way of getting the optimizing C++ compiler.
But, like I say, I don''t know for certain.

Does anyone know if the .NET 2003 upgrade applies to the academic version of VS .NET as well? The academic version I have is exactly the same as .NET professional except that it has some additional instructor and student materials with it, and of course, cost about 1/10 of what the pro version costs.

Heh, I''m interested in that as well, especially considering I''m no longer classified as an "academic user"...
If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot!

Hmm, I''m wondering. Does my UNI actually sell .net Professional? They say it''s visual studio .net professional, but it''s at 1/10th the cost -- so I dunno if its the academic or the professional edition. I only plan to buy vs.net if I can get the 29 USD upgrade, which is only for owners of .net professional.
