Hey everybody.

I just bought a copy of Visual Studio.NET 2003 Academic Edition from
my college bookstore. It's much cheaper for us students. I'm hoping
that I will be able to develop commercial software with it. I have a
couple things I was planning on writing.

I looked through the EULA that comes with it and I don't see anything
that would indicate that Microsoft forbids commercial development with
this baby.

I wanted to ask if that's indeed allowed. Maybe someone here can tell
me. If you are convinced that Microsoft is against commercial
development with the student edition, please point me to the actual
text saying so, either online or in the EULA that came with the
product.

Thanks very much,
Greg Magarshak
