visual studio troubles!!! please help

ive recently purchased a copy of Ivor Hortons teach yourself Visual C++ 2008 because it was far cheaper than the 2010 version. however it says that visual C++ 2008 Express Edition will be insufficient because it doesnt include the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes) and i need either:
Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition
Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
Visual Studio 2008 Team System

are any of these versions free so that i dont have to invest any more money into learning C++? or will i have to buy one of these :-(

thank you!

No, only express is free.

Edit: unless you are a student, there is a scheme for them, can't remember the the name off the top of my head.
