> Pretty sure if you make more than 1mil per year you can afford to buy VS. The community edition is intended for indies, hobbyists and small enterprises. $1 million in revenue is a very small enterprise.
$1200 for VS professional is one tenth of one percent of a million dollars, plus you get a msdn subscription, and if you're paying a programmer more than $62400 (gross) it's less than a week's salary.

How did you find this url? I would like to get the community edition ISO url, but can only find the RC dated 4/27/2015, when searching download.microsoft.com.
Got it from VisualStudio.com, there is an option at the bottom in the Downloads page to get the ISO which is the same as the one in MSDN (same SHA1 values listed) but has different file names. Here's English Community: http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/B/C/0BC321A4-013F-4...
Do any versions do away with having to login? Spent a weekend on Moreton Island last year and was unable to login, hence unable to do any work. The Partner Edition sucks for this reason.
Visual Studio encourages you to sign in with your Microsoft account, but you can license it with a product key instead. Help -> Register Product -> License with a product key
I love how the VS2013 update 5 is 6.1GB where you can download the full version of Ultimate with update 5 and it's only 4.8GB. 1990s me would be blown away that VS could be this big. I'd be even more impressed that my work fiber downloaded it at 10.2MB/sec (yes MB not Mb).
1900s me had a fabric binder full of MSDN CDs - dozens upon dozens it seemed - with the same software footprint and a harder "download" process.
Hoarder me keeps everything :-)

How about my release candidate that I installed about a month back? Will it update automatically? Does it even need to? Did anything change?
If you're building Windows 10 Universal apps you should hold off until Windows 10 is released on the 29th. I just ran the VS2015 Community installer and it prompted me to remove the Windows 10 Universal Apps Tools RC.

I think you confuse revenues and profit.
