    My only concern now Express editions are free forever, is the competitors of Visual Studio will get together and file an anticompetitive lawsuit in the US courts..  I only hope this doesnt spoil the party...

    I installed VWD and its works like a dreams its to easy to develope complex web applications in minuts and the learning material is more helpfull.

    In the learning videos mostly with data grid and view but no more example with the insert data into the database and such like that.

    Great....and....cool....
    I've been playing around with VWD for my final year project development and found it to be interesting and helps me in my experience in developing ASP.NET 2.0 apps. I do wish to continue using VWD and ASP.NET 2.0. Now that VWD is free forever, we'll get to enjoy longer period of small-scale developments. ^^

    Saurabh - if that was possible then I think Microsoft would of sued the makers of other makers of free IDE's that compete with Visual Studio.  

    I think Microsoft is trying (and doing a good job) of combating the negative image portrayed by it's competitors (incorrectly) that Microsoft is only concerned with making big dollars off of large coporations and they have no support or products that are affordable solutions for the small business.  

    This is just smart business on their part to offer such a powerful and capable tool for free.  It also has the added benifit of giving those who may be curious about .NET a chance to try (and learn) with absolutely no risk what-so-ever.

    I took a look and even installed it. It looks nice but it is missing and I think will be, some core nice feature that I consider a must have, for example, multicategory listing.
