Hi Jim,

>From Amazon:

The Premium version is $2800.  The Ultimate version is $11,820.13.
In contrast, the Pro version is $500.  But - the best way to get that is
through a MAPS subscription.

Here is a look at the differences:

Hi Dan:

The article was an opening for this discussion. 

It would be difficult for me to balance whether one development platform is
better than another. There is still an express version of the .Net framework
and if a the full version was required a client would of course be paying
for it...directly or indirectly.

The author of the point of view did not specifically state that the costs of
the products were major impediment but that the suggested that the newer OSS
development tools were more effective and more commonly used.

The comments are always most interesting. ;-)

How expensive are the Ultimate and Premium versions of Visual Studio?

If you read the comments you'll find some knowledgeable people taking the
author to task.  

The one discussion point I do agree with is the amazingly high cost of the
Ultimate and Premium versions of Visual Studio.  This would cause people to
find alternatives.
