It may, it may not. Doesn't really matter, though. If you made a product that competes with an MS product then realistically you can afford to pay $150 to purchase a commercial version of the compiler. > Isn't 'Expression studio' required for Silverlight, at some cost ? I wasn't thinking specifically Silverlight (just .NET), and don't know if Expression Studio is required. I'd doubt it, as that would slow adoption down incredibly which would be counter to MS's goals. But I was only speaking to .NET... Troy.
