Academic license is the way to go.It is a low cost option and good value. It
also allows you to provide the software for students to use at

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are in the budgeting phase for 2007. I
am currently using vb.net express. I am wondering if anyone knows anything
about pricing for priviate schools for vb.net whe I presume the express
version is no longer free.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Currently, for our school to get vb.net
we would have to purchase the full visual studio suite at just over $100 per
license. has anyone delved into the MSDN Academic Alliance? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>On another topic, how stable have
people using vb,.net express found it on their student systems? In my class of
26 years 9/10 students, we find the product reasonably stable but some
students get some strange system errors occasionally (strange I suppoose
because of the cryptic way the application reports errors)...of course our
system protection mechanisms would not have anything to do with that....would
they...??</FONT></DIV>
