Microsoft is offering free software for developers through their program DreamSpark. If your a student and you need software for web developing than you can download Expression Studio for free. It's similar to Adobe's Creative suite.

Check out this link: https://downloads.channel8.msdn.com/

As a student, you can download:
Visual Studio 2008 Pro
Windows Server 2003 Standard
SQL Server 2005
MS Expression Studio
Visual Studio 2005 Pro

and a few other specialized ones! This is pretty amazing! I wonder if I qualify...

We're all students, students of life, right? LOL

No, this is a great resource and hopefully it does not get abused because we all know that microsoft can't afford for its software to be used without charging.
