Pour me a cab, 'cause I can't drink no more.

Does anyone know if the trial versions of VS2005 are still available anywhere? I couldn't find them on microsoft.com, and various links people had to them seem to be dead. 

I need it to check compatibility for some things, so VS2008 doesn't help me much. 

Thanks.

I want my scalps!

What kind of compatibility? With VS2008 you can compile to .NET 2.0, so if it's that kind of compatibility you could use VS2008. If it's not, I can't help you.

Nah, it's to check compatibility with plug-ins - I want to make sure what I write will work as an add-in for VS2005 as well as VS2008.

You might like to try the express editions as they are readily available

The express editions don't support plug-ins.

ah, of course they don't!

I've had a look on MSDN and that appears broken
