Continuing efforts to woo academia, Microsoft Thursday said it will release Visual Studio .NET 2003 Academic Edition to U.S. schools in conjunction with professional versions of the development environment. Additionally, the source code for a number of environment's components will be made available under Microsoft's Shared Source Initiative through an Academic Tools Source License. ... "Today's announcements are about working with academia to foster innovation and help students and professors be successful," said Eric Rudder, senior vice president for the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft. "Academic developers are defining the future at educational institutions around the world. Our mission is to make our software and programs so easily accessible that students and educators are limited only by their own imaginations."
