I should win cuz I'm just a lowly teacher who can't afford Microsoft's insane prices.

[theremon]

Oooh I WANT this alright!
Why should I win??? Uhm... lets see...

1. Why NOT? :twisted:
2. Cause I can't afford to buy it? (that's very true)
3. Cause the Express Editions that I have (like a lot of others) don't support Mobile development and so the world can't benefit from my wonderfull applications? (just trying to be funny)
4. Cause my trial versions are expiriiiiiiing???? Sooooooooooon??? 8O
5. Cause I say "Pleeeeeeease?" ? :lol:
6. Cause I can't think of anything smart to say? ops:

That's it, I'm done... I'll just sit here waiting and hoping... :roll:

I should win the prize because if I do, I can finally start my own software business like I've been dreaming of for a few years now.

I'm a mobile phone developer and I can develop codes on my desktop at home if winning the prize.

I'm a web app developer still stuck on VS 6. I could use this to update my skills.

[paulrbarber]

Please. So i can finally develop apps for WM2k5 and dotNet2, rather than being stuck in the stone age

[webservicedude]

I've got some sooper cool SmartPhone app ideas that I've been dying to try building, and this would be a perfect excuse.

Oh boi, I really really need this Visual Studio so bad! Currently I have a 180 day trail version, and trial period is over in 56 days, and as a poor student I cant afford the full Visual Studio professional. :cry:

Wish me good luck, this is my only chance to continue with mobile ms smartphone development.

I should win cause I never won .... I cannot be out of luck forever
