What happened to the Standard Edition?
I believe it's effectively been replaced by the free Community Edition.
Do you have any more data about this? I mean, the Standard edition included an optimizing compiler, libraries like ATL and MFC, etc.
Are you sure they will be free?
I knew about the free Express editions but Community... never heard of it.
Sorry, I think I meant Express - got confused with Community Technical Preview.
The compiler is the same I believe - it's the tools you get with it that varies between editions.
