I know, as Mike correctly pointed, we look at things differently. I bought VS 2005 about 5 years ago and was pretty happy with it. I skipped VS 2008, didn't see much need for it. Now, I believe that I can use VS 2010 but probably won't need VS 2011, VS2012, VS2013 <g> So I will wait for VS 2015.

>>Thank you, Mike. I prefer to spend less. I bought VS2005 for less than $400 and was pretty much happy for several years. I don't think I need to update my VS or SQL Server every year.
