I've been wanting to work with C# for literally years, and now, I've finally taken some of the initial steps to not only learning it, but more importantly, using it in my day to day work.

Just this past week I had the privilege to finally purchase Visual Studio 2010 Professional for my day job.  It may be the lowest on the totem pole of Visual Studio editions, but all things being accounted for, it's a huge step in the right direction for us. As a company whose flagship product is an aging PHP web application that we're continually extending, to say this is a breath of fresh air would be an understatement.
