    It's just a project file buddy, the msvc 2003 compiler/linker is free. Yes, free.

    John Carmack uses VS.NET because it is by far the best IDE available on any platform, by his own words, and many others'. No, I'm not trolling, it's just plain true, unfortunately. But there are still many very good free IDEs you can use with the ms compiler.

    http://www.iddevnet.com/ Its the offical site for the SDK. Seems easier to use too than Q3's SDK.

    As for too late, I think its lost time to HL2. As soon as it hits, D3 will be but a memory.

    PlanetMirror is a big Australian site that mirrors heaps of crap (well, duh...) you might want to try it if you can't get to the id FTP site.
