Microsoft is making their newest VS series (stripped down) free for using - they even include the latest SQL engine.
Take em up on their offer - I’ll be loading it and playing with it at home - maybe we could share tips .
Nope, not for me.
I won’t even help them * give * that garbage away.
I appreciate *your * intentions, but Microsoft’s are unacceptable to me.
Trust me: anything you develop with this - they’ll render all your invested time and efforts wasted with an incompatible “upgrade” in a few years.
