Is a free, publicly downloadable edition of Visual Studio 2010 available?

Can I download this IDE for free?

When will the beta expire?

All of the Express versions of Visual Studio are free but the other versions are not.

Yes.

Do you mean legally? That's a different question.

Right now the beta is free, if you qualify for BizSpark you can get the RTM version for free as well.

If you're at a school that has MSDN AA, then yes.

How do you normally get new software right now?

You can download the beta free here. But that will expire before too long, after which you'll have to download the Express editions.

Well, right now this is in beta... but more then likely, once it comes out, there will be "Express" free versions just as with 2008 and 2005.

That's just my educated guess... I don't know for sure that MS will release Express versions, but probably.
