the Learning Edition sells for around US$90. the biggest difference is that
static libraries are not included, but you can build a release version using
the .dll's. the profiler is not included. I believe some data base support
is missing too, but I am not sure what, not being a data base type. All in
all, while not free, it is an excellent learning tool if you are interested
in learning ATL, MFC, or the other Microsoft stuff.

If you are trying to migrate 16 bit projects, I believe the lack of a patch
lib for the old stuff will cause some pain.
