Dreamspark is Microsoft’s program for getting free development tools into the hands of students, in hopes that when they get out in the business world they’ll ask for the tools they’re familiar with. Or in Microsoft’s own words:
It is our hope that the DreamSpark program will spark your creativity and help you harness software’s transformative magic to turn your good ideas into reality, by equipping you with the tools you need to succeed and excel during your academic experience and skills you will need after graduation.
Are you a student? Here’s what you can get:
- Visual Studio 2008 Professional
- Microsoft Virtual PC
- XNA Game Studio
… and more.
That’s right, these are the same goodies that old women like me have to pay hundreds of dollars for.
