Two, I'm about to start a course at university and have a strong suspicion that it will be using C++ so I don't no if theres any point. Note: I also love to us VB6 because its so easy to use and the debug tools are very useful.

I have XP home but only because it came with my PC, I've never bought a OS seprate from a PC.
As DevGrp said, you can program in .net for free.

Here is what I posted before in another thread:

Not true, you can develop .Net apps completely free!

Everyone uses that excuse. First, you can use notepad and compile from the command line, but you don't have to...lol. You can use http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx to develop C# applications as long as you have the .Net SDK installed (Which is free too). Next up is Borlands offering: http://www.borland.com/products/down...rpbuilder.html

Now, no more excuses about the money involved, there is none....lol.
