Microsoft is making available for FREE download, light-weight versions called 'Express versions', of the Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. From the Microsoft VS Studio Express Site:

 The Express Editions are an expansion of the Visual Studio and SQL Server product line to include lightweight, easy-to-use, and easy-to-learn tools for hobbyists, students, and novice developers who want to build dynamic Windows applications, Web sites, and Web services. The Express products consist of:

 Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, a lightweight tool for building dynamic Web sites and Web services

 Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, and Visual J# 2005 Express Edition, targeted programming tools for students and hobbyists who wish to learn the fundamentals of Windows programming

 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, a database for building data-driven applications

 While these versions are not full blown versions of Visual Studio .NET 2005, it is a step in the right direction. It will allow many programmers the opportunity to learn .NET skills, and create applications (which are free to distribute).

 Originally Microsoft was going to offer the Express version of VS Studio 2005 for $49.00, but recently decided to offer them for free. This in my opinion was definitely the 'right' thing to do.
