Thanks so much for this...Dealing with the Download on the MSDN site was an absolute nightmare, and I exaggerate in no way there!

Subject: Easy install of Visual Studio 2010 Express Editions, and a call for evaluations
Due to the serious accessibility problems of the web page for downloading Express Editions of Visual Studio 2010, I have now posted the installers for Visual Basic, Visual C#, and Visual C++ on my web site. The Visual Web product is not included here because it involves more extensive pre-installation requirements. These installers retrieve software directly from the Microsoft web site, so one obtains the same components either way. 

Visual Basic

Visual C#
http://EmpowermentZone.com/vcs_web.exe

Visual C++
http://EmpowermentZone.com/vc_web.exe
These installers assume that version 4 of the .NET Framework is installed. One way of installing it is via the GotNET utility, available at 
http://EmpowermentZone.com/netsetup.exe
After installing a VS Express Edition, go to the Register dialog off the Help menu and choose the button to get a registration key online. After signing into this Microsoft site, you can get a key from a resulting web page or email message. Copy and paste that key into the registration dialog.
Let me suggest that this is a particularly good time for evaluating how well different screen readers work with Visual Studio, and reporting those observations. The latest JAWS, NVDA, and Window-Eyes versions are all claiming VS support. If we find that a screen reader works better than others in particular ways, the developers of competing screen readers may be motivated to address their weaknesses so that they can distinguish themselves as offering the best -- or at least equivalent -- VS support.
