download the express edition of 2005, although you'll only get 1 year of use out of it before the trial expires.
Nope, you have it for life. Only the free download itself expires.

But I have one question, can I upgrade my DirectX SDK to the latest version, and expect it to work with Visual C++ 2005 Express? I suspect it will except for perhaps integrated shader debugging, but I want some assurance before downloading another SDK at 24 kbps. :p

This is actually the reason I haven't upgraded my DirectX SDK from the Summer 2004 version. However, I have recently started using Visual C++ 2005 Express and I am liking it quite a bit better (though I still have 6.0 installed so I can still use its Win32 resource editor).

Hmmm ok. What is the deal with the Visual Studio 2005 Beta Kit that I have? Does that expire?? Cause that has the fullblown version of C++ and id hate to lose it.
