The Best Stuff Is Free

Microsoft has released free "express" editions of the visual studio products, including Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Maybe it's not totally earth-shattering news considering that the DDK is also free, but regardless, it still amazes me that one of the best compilers in the world is a freebie. The irony is that they charge *lots* for (what I consider to be) the much less valuable components.
