Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition is a 100% free 100% fully featured VS.
They are definitely not trying to sell windows or vs licenses with these types of moves, give away the platform and good tools and they will make it popular and make you a lot of money in other ways.
- petecox 12y agoUnless it works flawlessly under Wine, you still need to run it within a Windows desktop. A Windows 8.1 Pro OEM license costs around $150, which if you're building a FreeBSD desktop from scratch won't come included in the purchase price.
- hobs 12y agoSure, and that is a fair point, I was just responding to the "sell more visual studio", but of course driving the windows ecosystem in some ways (online, os, whatever) is their stated goal.
