We go to the Microsoft Store, there:
Visual Studio Professional 2010 (English) : ~25 tr.
Visual Studio Professional 2010 Update (English) : ~$16.00

At the same time there:

To be eligible for an upgrade price product, you must be a licensed user of one of the following: any earlier version of Visual Studio or any other development tool (including free development tools such as Visual Studio Express Editions or Eclipse).

Judging by stackoverflow.com/questions/2605616/vs2010-upgrade-edition-is-upgrading-from-express-ligitimate and in general everything that I managed to dig up in half a day on microsoft.com, either a third of the price is taken for a free IDE, or I did not take into account.
Has anyone dealt with this specifically?

I didn’t understand something…
>The product is intended exclusively for individuals, for installation on a home PC.
25 thousand and only on a home PC?
Still, it's good to be a student and have access to dreamspark...

Maybe this year there will also be a program?
Microsoft offers 3500 licenses of Visual Studio with a 60% discount.
In 2009, the discount was 80% for a similar program :)
In general, I recommend monitoring discounts before NG :)

Why Visual Studio?
In my opinion, it’s better to take Delphi XE2 for 29 thousand rubles (full version) or Starter for 6300 rubles (although there is a restriction on the sale of created products. if the profit exceeded 30 thousand rubles / year, then you need to buy the full version for 29 thousand rubles)

If VS is needed for home use, then you can get it for free by becoming a student. Internet institutions such as intuit are also suitable! There is a guide on the Internet on how to get a code to activate DreamSpark (You need to pass 3-4 simple tests in C # on the site after registration).
Total: to obtain a license, you need 30 minutes of time and 0 rubles.
ps for commercial development, this type of licensing under an agreement with Microsoft is not suitable)))))
