About Buying .NET
Ways to buy .NET
2. There are 5 ways to buy VB.NET. Here they are with street prices:
a. Standalone "Learning Edition" -- $100 (only VB.NET)
b. Visual Studio .NET Professional -- $500
c. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer -- $1650
d. Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect -- $1900
e. MSDN Universal Subscription -- $2500
The MSDN Universal Subscription includes EVERYTHING Microsoft makes from VS.NET to SQL Server to all operating systems. It is 10's of thousands of dollars worth of software. For a professional developer, it is a bargain. To put these prices (which are just ballpark estimates) in perspective, Java Enterprise Development environments cost in the neighborhood of $3500, and that is just the IDE -- no extra software or operating systems. Try looking at http://www.vbxtras.com for more pricing info.
What do people buy? Everyone, and I mean everyone in our company has their own personal MSDN Universal Subscription. I wouldn't be without it. To get the basics of what you meed to develop in .NET you need the professional edition or higher.
