Are you a student looking for VS.NET?

Make sure you check out your University/College bookstore! "vbjay" mentioned today (on GotDotNet) that he bought the Academic version of VS.NET 2003 from his college bookstore for just a bit over $100.00. I did some googling around and found several University bookstores offering the software for around 99 dollars (to current students and staff only in most cases). If you have an academic reseller nearby, and you qualify to purchase VS.NET from them, make sure you check it out.

    They can also get it for free via MSDN Academic Alliance, which many schools are a part of.

    One thing I'm concerned about is that after you graduate or leave the university, you're supposed to remove VS.NET from your computer(s).

    At that point it then becomes more expensive to buy VS.NET, since you have to pay the full retail price.. unless your employer is nice enough to install a copy for you.

    Microsoft is also offering VS.NET ACAD for $25, the cost of joining The Spoke: Premium

    I don't know if theres a difference from the original vs.net to 2003 but when I bought my academic copy it said nothing about removing it from my machine after i graduated. Nor do i see it listed on this site. So are you sure that you need to remove it? After all you can compile .net apps with just the frameworks compilers so you don't even need vs.net.

    I only paid 8$ at my school for the 7cd set of the VB.net IDE. I haven't installed it yet though until I get another HD to handle it and all my other files, heh.

    I don't think you have to remove VS .NET 2003 when you graduate. The license statement is a little bit hard to understand but, I don't see that in there.
