Yes, MS has had a deliberate policy of making developer software free to keep there software in demand. i.e. It helps to write software for and that runs on MS product. Makes absolute sense really.

451574 2006-05-03 02:51:00 yeah, exactly. I was just sort of backing up CB's post of 'How Piracy Opens Doors for Windows' (alright, piracy and free are not exactly the same, but it gives you the same results), also pointing out that MS actually ARE lowering some prices (but it definately pays off a lot more than selling VS express in this case).

I thought it was a very sneaky move :)
