a) When Free Isn't
By Lori MacVittie
I was excited last year when Microsoft announced it would join the rest 
of the
modern world and offer express versions of its development environment 
for
free, targeting hobbyists and students. So I went to download Visual C# 
Express Edition... and discovered a little disclaimer regarding the 
"freeness" of the
Express editions...
http://update.networkcomputing.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/etFU0GO4rP0G4g0D3xP0Gj

b) Friday Freebies
By Lori MacVittie
Two freebies for you today. The first is a well-hidden, undocumented,
unsearchable, free virtual CD driver from Microsoft. VCdControlTool has 
no
documentation and you'll need to read the readme to properly "install" 
the
proggy as it involves copying the driver to the appropriate system 
directory.
But once installed, it works as advertised...
