I've been meaning to post this for a while; back in November Microsoft® released Visual Studio® 2005. In an effort to increase usage among current and prospective software developers they’re running a near unbeatable promotion for the Visual Studio® 2005 Express Editions – FREE. According to the FAQ the Express editions will be available free for download for one year. If you register before the year lapses you will not have to pay for it and can continue using it after the download period. You are required to register the products.

Downloads are available:

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
