Free Visual Studio 2008/2005 for students

I'm sure I was the last person to pick up on this but there are lots of free full versions of microsoft products available at https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/ if you are a student.

Good old Microsoft!

It sounded like a whole rigmarole to actually get the software... EDIT: Maybe not, assuming your school is connected to their network.

You're right, this was covered once before on QN: Free Visual Studio 8 Professional Edition - QuantNetwork - Financial Engineering Forum and I put it on the wiki (see the C++ page in my signature).
