I am a student and I have been using a copy of Visual Studio.NET 2003 Pro for a while now. I was able to purchase it for the student price of $99.00 US. I am now interested in buying the new Visual Studio 2005 and I am faced with a problem. The student discount for Visual Studio 2005 Pro is far less than it was for 2003. It is $749.95 US but the Standard Edition is only $49.95 US. What I am interested to know is if buying the Standard Edition will be enough for me having been using the Pro edition of the previous version. I use VB, C#, C++ and I do both desktop and mobile device programming. I do use a bunch of the pro features including XML and XML Schema. Does the standard version include a full set of Windows Forms controls? Will I lose any functionality with going to Standard Edition? Thanks in advance for all your advice.
