Geoff Snowman reports that you can get a free copy of Microsoft Visual Basic.Net 2003 Standard Edition by watching and rating five short 'How-to' movies at MSDN. You can't beat the price.
Update (under the category, “He who hesitates is lost“): Due to overwhelming demand, supplies of the complimentary Not For Resale copies of Visual Basic .NET 2003 Standard Edition are now exhausted. You can still go to VB at the Movies to watch these great videos and learn about Visual Basic.Net. And all is not lost, as we obtained a copy ourselves, and will be raffling it off for our July Giveaway. Look for a link on our home page starting on July 1st.
