>Just a quick question, over the next few months I have plenty of time to get my feet wet with Visual Studio. The question is this: I do own a full blown copy of Visual Studio 2005, but since there has been a couple releases since then - would I be better to just use a more up-to-date "evaluation" version to practice with, or would the 2005 version do just as well.

If you are just starting with .NET I think the best training value out there is LearnDevNow.com
All the AppDev training videos for $129 with sample code. Excellent beginner and intermediate presentation for all kinds of MS stuff.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
