VS2003 now - VS2005 update later?

Hi!

I am looking to buy Visual Studio (Professional version) for myself, for
home. But I was wondering, if I buy it now, and VS2005 comes out in the
summer (hope it will:) will there be any special update for those who
purchased VS2003 recently, or do I have to do a full update (which is not
good :-( ?

I remember there was some kind of special update offer for VS2002 users who
wanted to update to VS2003, anything like that coming for VS2005?

Thanks for any info

I am also interested in receiving a response to this. I just purchased
VS 2003 Pro about a month ago...

VS.Net 2005 is barely in beta. I really doubt that Microsoft has come up
with the pricing schemes for it yet.

This may give someone a general idea, though

http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vs2005/compare/

and then there's this, which if you stare at it
long enough you'll start to see dollar signs
floating in 3-D

Figure $500 street, $300 upgrade, for vs2005 regular,
and that's on the low side. Come November, you'll
know.
