Maybe this forum isn't the place to discuss warez?Or you can download off usenet for free
If you want a legit copy of Visual Studio 2005, just get one of the express versions. They are really free.

Probably not. I meant no disrespect to software authors, producers or sellers. The point was not to endorse warez but to ask whether one method was preferable to another. They are all 'questionable' ways to obtain the software. Not wanting to start a flame war here, but is one way of breaking the license agreement 'better' than another?DoubleDutch wrote:Maybe this forum isn't the place to discuss warez?Or you can download off usenet for free

Yup, DD has hit the nail on the head... why not just use the express versions : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/DoubleDutch wrote:If you want a legit copy of Visual Studio 2005, just get one of the express versions. They are really free.
Pretty much the full deal with a cost of $0.

If you can't afford to buy Visual Studio Professional then you don't get to use it. It's that simple.
Just because I can't afford a Ferrari doesn't mean I'm in the clear to go steal one.
