Visual Studio irony
I just downloaded Visual Studio 2005 from my school's msdn site. First I had to download that setup.exe thingy they use now. When the download finished I was presented with a button labeled "launch installer". Click on the button and a folder containing two .iso's opens.
I'm sure if MS provided me with something that could burn these images I would use it, but as they don't I feel that microsoft are forcing me to use Linux

lol, I guess they assume if you are using visualstudio that you have some sort of program to do this... unfortunately there is no K3B for Windows and all of the free ISO burners either suck or are full of spyware..

I don't usually install software on XP unless I absolutely have to: some games absolutely have to be played
, so the method I am using to burn the discs is to mount the windows partition in linux. Like I said, I just presume this is the method Microsoft would prefer me to use
