DreamSpark: Some Microsoft Software Free for Students!

Last year, Microsoft announced that students can get Office 2007 for a mere $60.

DreamSpark is yet another program that benefits students. Now, the following software packages can be obtained freely by students:

Windows Server 2003
Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition
Microsoft Expression Studio, Expression Web, Blend, Design and Media
1 year subscription to XNA Game Studio Creator's club

[details at: https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/]

Arizona State University, isn't listed for the student status verification step. Go here instead.

Visual Studio 2008 is something I use very often for projects. Getting this for free is really a big help!

You know, you can pick up more recent promotional versions of SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 (as well as Visual Studio 2008) at the Hereoes Happen {Here} Launch Events, if you're interested. Registration is free and there are some good presentations to see, also.
