Is there any way to get a trial or free version of Visual Studio, either version 2008 or a previous one?

If so, where can I find it?

You can get Visual Studio Express for free - http://www.microsoft.com/express/

On the Visual Studio homepage, on the left, is a link:

2 . Get Visual Studio : Visual Studio 2008 Trial Version

Which gives you a 90 day trial edition of Visual Studio Professional.

Or a trial version of Team Suite is available here.

Obviously these links may change when VS2010 is released.
