[dba-VB] Any Students Out There?

>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.
