FREE copy of Visual Basic.Net Standard
Microsoft is already in the process of releasing 101 short movies in order to help teach everyone vb.net. If you're willing to watch, and then simply rate just five of these brief presentations, you will be able to obtain a FREE copy of Visual Basic.Net Standard edition.
Truly if you aren't interested in these movies, you won't get very much use out of 'em or this great new software. FWIW, it is also NFR, that is a "Not-For-Resale" copy, so if you are not interested in programming, you might skip over this freebie and leave 'em for those who will use it.

It does make a pretty nice gift for developer types, however! Enjoy!

FWIW, these clips can seemingly be viewed simultaneously - just in case you are pressed for time! 
They do contain some VERY useful tips however.
And I have to admit that I love FREE SOFTWARE!
Hope this proves helpful to some!

FWIW, another potentially useful tip, if you are really, really pressed for time, is that you actually need not even view all the movies. You only need to rate them!
I actually already had seen 'em!
And the message:
"Thank You
Thank you for completing the Microsoft "VB @ the Movies" Web profile. Your redemption code email will be sent within 24 hours. "
appears immediately, followed quickly by the redemption email.
Happy developing!

Even if you don't have a need for VB, the installation includes the Visual Studio .NET IDE, which gives you the product formally known as Visual InterDev, plus great XML and XSLT editors.
Great find, doc!

Due to overwhelming demand, supplies of the complimentary Not For Resale copies of Visual Basic .NET 2003 Standard Edition* are now exhausted. Tens of thousands were claimed by developers
