dotnet compact framework : Windows Mobile 5.0 Developer Evaluation Kit vs. Visual Studio Team

The version of VS2005 included in the WM 5.0 Kit is the Team Suite edition -
All version from Standard and above have device devleopment support (Not the
Express editions). This is change from VS2003 where Professional was the
"lowest" version with device support.
So the only differences is that the Team Suite kit may give you a more
recent release - there have been a couple of Community Technical Previews
(CTPs) since the Beta 2 release. However the B2 release is fairly stable,
I'd grab a copy of the WM 5.0 kit for now as it will also save you the
download of ActiveSync 4.0 and the SDKs

I'm looking for the "Mobile Device Support" in windows mobile 5.0. Which CD
should I order, should I go for "Windows Mobile 5.0 Developer Evaluation Kit"
or should I order the "Visual Studio Team Suit Cd".

Visual Studio Team Suit CD contains the "Visual Studio 2005 Team System"
version of Visual Studio 2005, where as Windows Mobile 5.0 developer
evaluation kit contains :
1. Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC
2. Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Smartphone
3. Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2
4. ActiveSync version 4.0
5. Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview
6. Windows Mobile 5.0 and Visual Studio 2005 white papers and videos
7. Information regarding new Windows Mobile partnering opportunities

Any idea whether the "Visual Studio 2005 beta 2" which is included in the
Windows mobile 5.0 evaluation kit contains the "Mobile Device Support"?
The Windows Mobile 5.0 developer Evaluation kit has shipping cost as $10,
where as the "Visual Studio 2005 Team System" CD costs $20.
Any other link or site from where I can download the version of Visual
Studio 2005 for free? (I'm not the MSDN Subscriber either).

Thanks in advance.
Sandeep.
