Im probably sure this has been asked b4 (like almost every question), but which VC++ removes the things saying taht u cannot redistribute the program? Micro$oft wont tell me, (usual behavior).

Student editions do not allow you to sell programs built with the compiler. Your fully allowed to sell anything you build with standard, professional, and enterprise.

Here''s a quick rundown: (This doesn''t include everything!)

Standrd Edition:
Features: Compiler and IDE
Price: Lowest for non-student versions

Professional Edition:
Features: Compiler, IDE, optimizer, profiler
Price: Medium

Enterprise Edition:
Features, Compiler, IDE, optimizer, profiler, Sourcesafe, best logo
Price: Highest

Student Edition:
Same as Standard, but cheaper, and you can''t sell your builds.

Intro version also does not allow for re-distrobution. In fact it''s got a little pop up window telling you every time you run the exe.

Code in the msvc IDE, compile with another compiler

Dammit, here in Sweden at least you are allowed to sell your applications you make (write and compile) in MSVC Academic.
