I think Martin decided to keep VC71 (Visual Studio .NET 2003) for another release cycle. Given the impressive results of VC8 with PGO, and the fact that Visual Studio Express 2005 is free forever, I would hope as well for the decision to be reconsidered.

Wasn't there a "Free Forever" 2003 edition too, which has since
completely disappeared? Why do you think that MS won't stop
distributing the Free Forever VS 2005 once VS 2005+1 comes out, the
same way they did the 2003 one?
