wow, now that's one hot deal!

i'm still using vs 6 -- works fine for me. any huge differences between vs6 and .net?

and...how reputable is this place? i've never ordered from 'em before...

 

[CarpeDeo]

edu.com is very reputable . . .but remember- these are all academic versions!! They're full working versions, with the only difference being it's technically illegal to create commercial software w/ it <i think>.

This is my first time seeing this site and $90 visual studio .net caught my eye but I'm not sure how reputable this site is.

Plenty of huge differences, totally different architecture. You can basically build COM "on the fly", creating your own libraries is so much easier just to name one advantage. It's very cool. Seems to run better on XP than 2000, but maybe that's just because of some of my coworker's computers being old too. It's worth it if you don't already have it. You can keep both VS6 and .NET on the same machine, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I have .net and vs6. Ease of use for student type is def. strong point for VS6. My girl friend is taking this class and if she had to work on .net she would be completly lost.

PDubs is right, the architecture is more complicated but if you know what your doing then everything is so much easier. It allows you to create better apps faster. But it just takes longer to learn.

Anyways those were my 2cents


$20 ?

When it first came out, I got mine from provantage.com. Only $78.66 + S/H.

I still have the shrink-wrapped version from Microsoft's .Net tour. Does anyone know if there is any significant difference (besides the box...) between the version from edu.com and this one?

i know it's an education oriented site but no where on the description of the product i can find info indicating it's an academy version. also the picture on the site shows a regular visual studio .net professional version, not academic.

If you click on specifications in the box towards the bottom of the page, you'll see where it says: "Academic: Yes". But you're right, they don't come out and say that it's an academic version very clearly.

They can get their resellers license revoked very quickly if they do not ask you to fax something to prove you are a registered student.
