Yes, and there are some very interesting, ==FREE== development tools available to work with asp.net 2.0 and other MS technologies. See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/ for availability of SQL Server 2005 Express, Visual Basic 2005 Express, Visual Web Developer Express, etc. The later provides a remarkably capable, streamlined way to create and maintain fully-featured data-driven asp.net 2.0 sites full of bells and whistles. The only drawback I can see is the (relative) paucity of providers currently supporting this level of asp.net. I would imagine that, in time, that will change.
