[Python-Dev] Visual studio 2005 express now free

[Guido van Rossum]

Microsoft just announced that Visual Studio 2005 express will be free
forever, including the IDE and the optimizing C++ compiler. (Not
included in the "forever" clause are VS 2007 or later versions.)

Does this make a difference for Python development for Windows?
