Free VB/C#/C++ Software

In keeping with the theme from my last post, I started looking for tutorials or software for other programming languages that might make an eventual transition to VSTO easier. I found some useful software from Microsoft that is actually free.
Check out:
Downloads
You can download "lite" versions of VB 2008, C# 2008, C++ 2008, SQL Server 2005, as well as something called Visual Web Developer 2008.
The one that looks most interesting to me is SQL Server, which I installed but have yet to try out. My plan is to use it to further understand the syntax and commands of SQL. I also installed VB Express, and sooner or later I'll get around to trying it.
One of the blurbs that actually made me laugh said "Control your home lights using Visual Basic Express". I just use the Off switch.
Unfortunately you need to install their Silverlight technology to properly view the page. Whatever happened to plain old HTML?
They also offer a DVD image you can download and burn. Seems convenient, but why anyone would want to do this, I don't know.
So check it out and let me know if you download or try any of them out.
Enjoy,
JP
