>From USA Today: Microsoft is giving students free access to its most sophisticated tools for writing software and making media-rich websites, a move that intensifies its competition with Adobe Systems and could challenge open source software's popularity. The Redmond-based software maker said late Monday it will let students download Visual Studio Professional Edition, a software development environment; Expression Studio, which includes graphic design and website and hybrid Web-desktop programming tools; and XNA Game Studio 2.0, a video game development program.
