I went to a Windows Interest Group TechTalk yesterday and won a raffle for a copy of Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic. If anybody wants it, you can have it if you paypal me the cost of shipping it to you. I have Enterprise Architect from my MSDN subscription, and I really don't need it.

I would like to know what you're going to do with it, though -- I don't want to just give away free, random software.

Never hurts to have a legitimate copy of a good tool.

In case anyone didn't know yet, you can get a full professional version from your local university for the cost of shipping or free downloaded off the internet. If you're a student. Or know someone who is who will order it for you.

Yup, my school has Professional for free as long as you promise to bring back the cds in 3 days :)

Mine has both the download (through MSDN Academic Alliance) and the CDs to borrow, but this is actual disks that you all can keep.

And I'm not studying much anymore. Oh, and obviously I'd install it, what else to do with a brand new compiler? :P

I have VS.NET 2002 installed right now, but there are some sources that would prefer VS.NET 2003 to compile cleanly. At least that's what I think it is, they complain about the version number being too low.

All you have to do is go into the .sln file, and look for the first line:
[code]
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 8.00
[/code]
Change the 8.00 to 7.00. It will open in 2002.

Ah, I've experimented with the version numbers. Not sure if it loses any settings when doing that though. Adding the files to a new project tends to work too.

Can you PayPal? Let me know where I need to ship it to, and I'll find out how much it would cost.

I'd think I can... I don't have a PayPal account, but they seemed to say they take credit cards.
