Is it serious? Yes
Are there free alternatives? No
Are there cheaper alternatives? Probably, there are a few .NET linkers out
there but while you might be able to find cheaper ones, none will be cheap.

Why there is no native compiler direct from microsoft? This has been
already discussed dozens of thousands of times on just about every .NET
discusion group across the world in probably every langage still in use
today over the last 5 years. Please use Google Search.

Thanks for your answer!

Well, seams I just use the wrong search words. Native compiler might be
the wrong word.

Please give me a hint.
