Also it's likely that if you're using pro you're in a work environment and it wasn't bought by you in the first place.
And with your last comment Elysia you defeated your argument, Express has similar features to Pro and is developed by the same company.
RICHARD STALLMAN ALL OVER AGAIN RUN FOR THE HILLS!
I read it as a comparison between Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro, not Visual Studio Professional and Express.Quote:

Laserlight is correct. Two different products developed by two different companies.
And Microsoft is also sometimes known to sell a lot of products at a loss, if that explains anything.
Richard Stallman has gotten to him I'm affraid.
They should be for overpricing the software, nothing else.
And just for the record, I DO use Paint Shop Pro, because it's so much prettier, and it's so much more stable than adobe software, and it's so much easier to use than adobe software.
Those are my experiences with adobe software.
You don't know it's overpriced... as far as we know they could sell very little and it could cost lots to make.
Obviously, there are enough people buying the product that it isn't "overpriced" to them. Supply and demand. They aren't in business to give away software, or even make it affordable to everyone.
I don't own a Jaguar, because I can't afford one, but I don't hold it against them. Instead of demanding that they make and XJ-300 affordable to me, I'd rather try to earn enough to be able to own one.
Sticks and stones, obviously. I feel it's overpriced, but I have no technical data to backup that statement, so believe it as you will.
And to you it probably is overpriced, 'nuf said :)
Even to me it's overpriced, but it's not aimed at people like me. Overpriced is a definition based on perspective, whether it's yours or the economys.
The funny thing is that Microsoft intended the Express products to be free for a certain time, but then they seemed to have extended it to be free always.
I don't know what reasons they had for that. Just that originally they were intended to be a free download for everyone within a time period.
