I payed $99 for VS2013 Professional, as did many others. Which is probably a key factor in why it is the fastest selling release.

- bananas 13y ago$499 is pretty good value over a year as well I found!
- 72deluxe 13y agoHow did you get it so cheap? Is it an educational one that has restrictions on releasing applications produced with it?
- mmorris 13y agoLooks like there was an MSDN deal for upgrades from VS 2012 (expired on Jan 31, 2014 though). http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/The-99-VS2012-Pro-VS2013-Pro-offer-is-available- http://channel9.msdn.com/Forums/Coffeehouse/The-99-VS2012-Pr...
- jussij 13y agoAt $100.00 a pop those sales numbers would still indicate VS generated sales revenue of $370.00 million. My guess is the actual revenue figures are probably in the $1B to $2B (B = billion) range, which isn't too bad for a product that I'm sure Microsoft doesn't consider one of their big money makers and a product line that I'm sure they also subsidise with income from sales of their other products. I too suspect Microsoft looks at VS as an essential, break even product, but with sales numbers like that I can't believe they aren't also making a nice little profit from VS.
