Microsoft has put together a special edition (I guess that’s how they came up with the name for it) of Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003. Not only does it include VS.NET Pro 2003, but also Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition), SQL Server 2000 (Developer Edition) and the Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office. All for the upgrade price of US$549 or a full price of US$799. I guess that basically means that you get the Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2000 and the Studio Tools for Office for free.
This is the link the Dutch Microsoft pages about this special edition.
