Microsoft Dreamspark

Has anybody used this service here?

It seems too good to be true to me as I am a student wanting to download Visual Studio 2012 Professional edition for C++, it is priced at £500 normally - but by subscribing to Dreamspark I can apparently get it for free (for 12 months I believe).

I get free Dreamspark access as well through Uni. I needed Visual Studio for one of my modules and it works just fine. No catch or anything.

Sounds great then, I'll have to subscribe to it! Thanks.

Sounds great, it will come in very useful! I don't know why so many people have it in for Microsoft - I think they're a great company.
