A MVP friend of mine dropped one of these on me today: http://weblogs.asp.net/israelio/archive/2006/01/15/435488.aspx
It's a free copy of VS.NET 2005 Team Suite with a 1 year Premium MSDN subscription!!!! Thats a $10,939 value!!!
He achieved MVP status because of the massive collection of Visual Studio how to videos he has created for his site http://learnvisualstudio.net/ Also, as I understand it his videos shipped in the VB.NET Express retail box.
If you are new to programming or the .NET environment these videos are a must see.
Now if you'll excuse me I have some coding to do...
