Oh. $549 for a vs.net 2005 professional upgrade? Ouch.
Seems to me the entire VS.Net 2003 Professional, not needing to upgrade, was
about that price.
The express pricing is quite reasonable, but only for hobbyists like Tyler.
<smile>
Anyone have a spare $2500 for the coolest option of all? <grin>

Even Tyler can't complain that is poor value for money <smile>
Microsoft Corp. Monday announced that the much-anticipated next version of
its developer tools suite will ship in the second half of 2005 in several
versions, with the Microsoft Developer Network as its primary delivery
mechanism.
Prashant Sridharan, Microsoft's senior product manager for Visual Studio
Team System, said Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005, code-named Whidbey, will
ship by the end of 2005 and that SQL Server 2005, code-named Yukon, will
ship simultaneously.
Microsoft had earlier said the product would ship this summer, after a
series of prior delays.

However, in addition to alerting customers that Visual Studio 2005 will be
coming a little later than expected, Microsoft also announced pricing for
the product.
The Redmond, Wash., company announced that estimated retail pricing for
Visual Studio 2005 Express will be $49; Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition
will run $299 or $199 for upgrades from the previous edition; and Visual
Studio 2005 Professional Edition will run $799 and $549 for upgrades, as
will Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System.
In addition, Microsoft said subscribers to MSDN Universal, the current elite
MSDN subscription, will be able to move to Visual Studio 2005 Team System at
no charge, to one of three role-based options: Visual Studio Team Edition
for Software Architects, Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers,
and Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Testers.

Sridharan said Microsoft also will offer special upgrade pricing for the
Visual Studio Team Suite, which features all three of the role-based
products.
In addition, Sridharan said customers can select the MSDN subscription level
that best suits them.
Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition with an MSDN Premium subscription
runs $2,499, or $1,199 for renewals. Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
with MSDN Professional Edition runs $1,199, with renewals going for $799.
The MSDN Operating Systems subscription goes for $699, or $499 for renewals.
And the MSDN Library subscription runs $199, or $99 for renewals, the
company said.
