>>FWIW, if you use VS for any serious work it's probably worth to invest in a full version of Pro and in some extra tooling like Resharper or CodeRush. If you have *any* previous version of Visual Studio you can upgrade in the Microsoft store for $99 until the end of January.

>where did you find the *any* version offer or did they change the text ? Not really in need (currently working half in Java) but having an option to switch to current C# for nearly no money might tempt me, if MS online stores in the US sell to europeans...

You can call the store - I got to that link from a forum post from somebody that called the store and said that any version is allowed to ugprade from.
