Alright well thanks for the help. I got express. I should be able to do all of my beginner needs with it correct? And would it be worthwhile to purchase a license for VS at a later date? Or is there something more efficient?

Well then if 2010 is completely free i will install that one. Id rather use something tested then something beta anywho.

Alright awesome, i suppose i will use the beta of 11 since its free for now... How ever the latest version isnt free, but are the other versions of it?

Okay didn't want to post a whole new topic to ask this simple question. But what compiler would be suggested or windows that is free and works very well?

Hail! I must thank the ES crew today for (re)inspiring me to pick up programming. I followed their youtube videos years ago when they first came out, and was very motivated by them. However somewhere along the line I stopped having the desire to program, and they also fell off the face of the earth....
