Don't be confused with an MSDN subscription and MSDN knowledgebase/online.

A subscription gives you access to the latest versions of software.

>Thank you for your input. I have had MSDN before but honestly probably looked up something there 3 times in all the years. Google or UT or all the forums are so much easier. And my personal feeling is that MS documentation is the least helpful (I don't know if it is me or other people fine their docs not easy to understand).
