We are still within the one year that Microsoft is allowing a free registration of the Express suite, including Visual C# Express and Visual Web Developer Express. These are pretty cool applications
and even though they compete with some of my other business models, I would be remiss if I didn’t at least share them.

For example you may not know but with Microsoft Web Developer Express it is a snap to set up a powerful membership site. I haven’t quite figured out how to do the payments yet, but user authorisation is just drag and drop and wizards. I haven’t even begun to explore it’s full features.

Be warned though, they are massive downloads and make sure you read the documentation before installing. My friends computer crapped itself after installing .NET framework. This may have had nothing to do with it, but the Indian guy in the computer shop put ideas into his head.

Not having read any documentation saying that you should do this and that first, I just installed it on XP professional. Can’t remember reading anything. But this Indian dude was saying that he had to take out the computer battery to fix the problem. Now what the hell is that all about.

If you have a clue please write something intelligent in the comments.

Otherwise share your thoughts on this subject.
