Windows 2003 Server (im using Enterprise)
SQL Server (im using Enterprise)
IIS (comes with 2003 Server)
ASP.NET
Visual Studio .NET 2003 ENTERPRISE ARCHITECT (you know the one that costs a
hell of a lot)

megabucks worth of software all FREE - how?

quite simple, my educational establishment has a clue and has aquired
access to MSDNAA - a licence which grants students and facaulaty members
free access to software.

who in hell needs a new machine to run the aformentioned software - it will
happly run on anything 500mhz and above with ~512mb of ram. IIRC any
computers of that vintage cost less than $200 so wtf is the problem.
