Visual Studio for the Hobbyist

Microsoft just unveiled their Express Beta Products. These are lightweight, low cost versions of Visual Studio. Currently you can download the beta version for free (backup your data!), but eventually they will be available for a nominal price.

It sure would be nice if Borland provided a competitive price-point product. I'll grant that their High-end products are above and beyond Microsoft's, but they are missing the boat by not having hobby versions.

Thanks to Rich for the tip.

FYI, C#Builder is free for personal use. As is C++BuilderX.
