Just thought I'd say so that more people knew about it:
Microsoft has been for a few years now giving much of their development software away, FREE, to students at www.dreamspark.com . All you need is a Windows Live account, which I'm guessing many of you have, and to be a student. Some of the things they let you at are the full, professional versions of Visual studio 2008 and 2010, Expression studio 4, Windows phone SDK, some beta stuff, and a load more besides. Just thinking that if anyone wants to code Lux, but doesn't have the stuff, it is out there.
Of course, if you aren't a student, then there's always the express versions.
