There are a number free downloads. This is what I did:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/
    Click on "Downloads" at the top.
    In the left frame, click on "Software Development Kits"
    Click on ".NET Framework Beta 2"
The ".NET Framework Full SDK" is a 127MB .exe file. I have
not yet unpacked it, so I cannot yet be sure what is inside...

Interesting. Maybe I should start reading at least one of
these magazines... but then again, spending time to learn
about Visual C++ deficiencies, isn't that like kissing
a frog when you want a prince(ss)?
