It’s great Microsoft have listened to feedback and offering these as a single ISO, but also offering them via a ActiveX download manager to make life easier for everyone.  However on Vista, it would only let me save it on my C drive and then told me for security it was being saved in a temp folder. Great!

Visual Studio Express Editions, VB, C#, C++, Web Developer.  Both Online and Offline (414mb img) installers are available.

I’m currently downloading C# Express (20 mins left) and Team Suite Installation (6hours 20mins left).   Wish I was back at Uni, would have been done by now….
