It says:
2 Includes a limited license for development and testing only. MSDN Subscriptions include the most recent version. Many previous versions are available from MSDN Subscriber Downloads. What does it mean by a limited license? |

| it means you cant start a hosting company with the servers they provide.. you can only use them when building applications |

for example depending on the Subscription you buy you can use it's Visual Studio and Office in Production, not so the OS's though. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

basically they want you to make money off of it unless you're paying them the top subscription price ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

| It looks to me like an MS action pack would be cheaper. |

| then the action pack would probably be the best.. you will also get four sets of licenses for each product when ordering the action pack, and that's quite cool.. at least that's how I have understood the text at ms.com/partners |

Once a year you have to re-install anyway, either being a new OS, or just Spring HD cleaning. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

I do a reinstall at least 5 times a year.. this last time, I corrupted
something on my harddrive after the reinstall, then, I crashed
windows.. so I had to install it three times in two days I did a cleanup on my harddrive som time ago, I'm sure I deleted between 50 and 100 GB of useless crap  |

Wel, I don't do spring cleanings, but been running XP since it came out without a re-install. Maybe some of that deleted stuff wasn't useless crap -------------

A off topic at this point but... There is only 1 version of the MSDN Universal subscription, right?

There is AFAIK MSDN Library, MSDN Operating System, Standard, Enterprise and Universal, with price ranges from....to.... Universal pretty much contains every app MS makes or ever made. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

That's what I mean - there are lots of versions... but only 1 version of each version... We've got a Universal subscription at work, and I need an English XP for testing and junk (I use a Korean 2k Pro for working), but buddy is trying to tell me that our Universal subscription does not include XP... I could be wrong, but I think he doesn't know what he's talking about.

The Universal includes every XP in every language. It actually includes every OS from DOS over Windows 3.1 to Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Even the standard does. You can even install an english XP and install the Multi Language User Interface Pack (4CD's) which will give you all languages supported with XP. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
