I need to make recommendations to my boss about which software to buy. I need to recode the whole compagny's application. I'm moving it from Access 2K ADPs to a web application (C# hopefully). Now I know that Yukon goes out November 7th and so should visual studio 2K5. Now the only developpement tools I have are MS Access 2000 and Sql server 2000. I'd like to upgrade to both Yukon and VS 2K5 but I need to start doing the new system analysis (and build up the new forms at the same time for documentation/analysis), so I need that almost ASAP. I'd like to know what would be the cheapest solution to be able to start doing my work now without buying VS 2K3 and then have to buy 2K5.

Both VS and SQL server 2k5 have beta version released. What about download from MS site now instead of waiting?

I thaught I had to be a member of msdn or something like that!!.
Any suggestion of what versions to buy when they come out?
I need a server version (15 users) and a dev version (1 programmer) of both sql server and VS. I don't have a budget for this yet, but I'm assuming it's not gonna be a lot (only a few Ks).

Try the links below to get the betas free. But I have seen people getting problem with SQL Server from the mailed CDs so the second link is for you to download SQL Server 2005 June CTP and yes the Enterprise edition is available. Hope this helps.

Thanx. But my question was reffering to what versions to buy when they come out.

Try these two links one is a developer program that gives you MSDN cheap and the other is the regular customer pricing. Hope this helps.

Remi, what is 15 users? Total number of users of system of concurrently executing queries? If you are on a tight budget I would release with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, if the necessary tests show that it can handle the load. Regarding VS2005 edition it is much up to what you want of the product. You could start out with VS C# Express, that's more or less free I think. If you need the full IDE I think mostly any edition would do. The Team Syetm editions are more for larger teams.

15 users is the number of persons using the system... number of concurrent queries is very small (few k/hour), almost all under 10ms.

Then you should be more than ok with Express Edition. You would of course have something larger for your development machine so you get all the tools.
