Welcome to Sathya’s first ever giveaway! So you want to get your hands on Visual Studio Professional edition, but find the pricing a little steep ? Here’s a nice way to save $250!
First the basics:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (new purchase) price: $799
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition (upgrade) price: $549
