why run cracked stuff ? Risk getting a virus ?

When you can run free Legal stuff that will do what Studio does ?


There are several IDEs available on Linux. Here's a short list:

For C#/VB.NET/Mono: MonoDevelop
For Java/html/javascript/python/ruby/php/and so much more!: IntelliJ IDEA
For C/C++, there are several alternatives: Eclipse, Netbeans, Code::Blocks, KDevelop

But that's not all of them, not even close! There is a much longer list of IDEs for Linux, and also matrices of IDEs by language and platform.

Hope this helps!

You registered at a CBS (yes that's our host) site then pretty much self incriminated yourself.

I suggest you alert this post and ask for its removal.
