Whist I can't disagree that Visual Studio Express is in itself free (as
in beer) it doesn't come without the risk of MS lawyers threatening
legal action against you.....

So you have to consider the indirect costs (like buying Windows to run
the IDE in the first place - unless it runs (legally) under Wine)
Now that's what I call proper FUD :D
