Visual C++ 2003 Standard -> how to upgrade

Hey, I'm really eger to buy Visual 2005. I'm using Standard version now and I want to ask which version should I buy to have the same features I'm afraid that there will be no Visual C++ 2005 Stardard for 150$. Do I have to choose between Visual C++ Express and Visual Studio Standard(including all the languages...)

    Yes: if you are upgrading from Visual C++ Standard then the choices are either Visual C++ Express Edition, which unlike the previous Standard SKU does include the optimizing compiler; or Visual C++ Standard, which includes not only the C++ compiler but also the C# and VB compilers.

    If you are just doing simple C++ (or C) programming; you are not really doing a lot of data access nor using multiple languages then I would suggest the Express version.

    Hey, I know this document but it does not answer my questions. Prices are not most important here.

    Hi,


    As stated in the document. VS2005 Standard Edition costs as much as $299 ($199) upgrade. In your inquiry on choosing between VC++ Express and the standard edition, I suggest purchasing the standard edition for the express editions has many limitations. Here is the list of differences.
