there is one obscenely naughty way around that money problem, which i won't mention.
it's how i got my copy though ^.^
yeah, I do that too
but I can't find vb anywhere... just lots of crap...
If you're in school (college, don't know about high school), you can get the MS products cheaper under an academic license. Many textbooks come with a learning edition of whichever MS product the book is about (VB, VC++, etc) that don't let you make a build release but generally work for learning purposes. There you'd get a textbook and the CD. If a school near you has a MS IT Academy license, students can get free copies of the regular software, again under academic license (you can't sell your programs).
Maybe MS lets you download the learning edition free; check their website. There are several free C++ ide's/compiler around.

I've never seen or heard of a VB compiler that didn't come from MS. Since MS owns VB I couldn't imagine them letting anyone else in on their little party.
i got Enterprise edition, which is bloody expensive.Originally posted by Xmevs

and i wasn't even looking for it, my mate offered it me
but don't pirate software, it's very wrong and you'll go to hell.
*waves Visual Studio 6 Enterprise Edition around and then BURNS IT because piracy is WRONG!*
noone's gonna pay $1000+ for a software which is flying in the internet for free, search *****, you'll find lots of em.
search engine name blocked for some personal protection.....but u know what it is anyways!!!
by the way, I don't have Vb cause I never program in VB....but i'm sure if you ask ppl in this board, many has copied softwares...cause many os us r studens and we studen't can't usually afford $1000 cds!@!
Who agrees with me that programs should be really cheap for non-commercial use?
