One of the things that Microsoft is doing is trying make writing code more accessible to many. There are quite a few "express" products in beta right now that I think you'll find quite useful. Check out:
· Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition for developing web applications with ASP.NET 2.0
· Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition for developing smart clients with VB
· Visual C# 2005 Express Edition for developing smart clients with C#
· Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition for developing smart clients with C++
· Visual J# 2005 Edition for developing smart clients with the Java language
· SQL Server 2005 Express Edition for using local data from windows and web applications.
As a non-developer myself, I like tools that make the entry price low (how about free!) for getting my hands on tools that let me explore new techologies. In particular the web developer stuff is cool
