Free software :)

Just for having an email address with my school's domain name on it, I get free software from Microsoft at DreamSpark.

I may not be the biggest Microsoft fan in the world, but I think that's a pretty good thing they have going on.


That's how I got Visual Studio 2010 Professional. There's even a version of Windows Server 2008 in there.

Of course, open source software is also free, and most of the time, better, but for one that time when I have to make a program in C#...well, nothing beats VS imo.

  1. Why would you guys need windows embedded? Is there a use for that(other than thin clients) that I am not aware of? And that is pretty sweet!
