On one hand, when you put in the good work to build Visual Studio, IIS and other tools, you deserve to attach a price tag to them. On the other, you have those open source guys who fire up a linux, get an Apache, MySql, Eclipse and some other free framework, and then they can start developing. In comparison, your price tag does become a hurdle . I know there are Express editions but they are not full-featured dev environment. <br /><br />http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/WM_IN/Seema-Ramchandani-From-Brain-Science-to-Silverlight/?CommentID=420068Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:40:48 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/shows/WM_IN/Seema-Ramchandani-From-Brain-Science-to-Silverlight/?CommentID=4200680http://channel9.msdn.com/420068/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0That's actually an interesting issue.

I do think we want devs using VS+Windows for obvious reasons. I also think it would be cool if VS ran on other OSes...<br />Chttp://channel9.msdn.com/shows/WM_IN/Seema-Ramchandani-From-Brain-Science-to-Silverlight/?CommentID=419983Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:48:14 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/shows/WM_IN/Seema-Ramchandani-From-Brain-Science-to-Silverlight/?CommentID=4199830http://channel9.msdn.com/419983/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Indeed :) I'm not in marketing.
