Ah, that's a different kettle of fish, especially for non-US developers. Here in the US, we have a PID program that removes most of the software costs for developers.

Think of this, though: if you support lots of clients on YOUR machine, you are in effect acting as a buffer for them not to upgrade, and you are going to get penalized. Not a ton, because the price increase of the compilers isn't THAT much; having both environments will cost you a little more than the old all-in-one 5722WDS, but my guess is we're talking 50% more, not 500% more.
