Thanks; I've had a Universal subscription since it was first offered.
If you work much with the API, having the documentation in MSDN on-hand is nearly infinitely more useful than access via the Web site. As is having the Platform SDK installed on your development system.
As a general 'port-of-entry', I find
http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/default.htm to be a more useful starting place. There's a whole lot more to MSDN Online than the SDK docs. If you're an MSDN, as opposed to an MSDN Online, subscriber, there are subscription resources at
http://msdn.one.microsoft.com/subscriber/ as well, including the ability to download updates to your MSDN subscription content.

>>>I think there's still an option to by a Single Issue of MSDN for something less than the annual subscription. Which is ok since the basic Win32API stuff is static.

OTOH, they actually gave away an MSDN sampler CD at the last TechNet briefing I attended (worth attending next month, too, if only for the free lunch and beta of Office 2000). It's to Microsoft's advantage to get the documentation out to the people who're going to use it.

The $300/year is the basic MSDN subscription, with quarterly updates to the documentation, white papers, and Platform SDK. At the high end, the Universal Subscription @$1995 list is all the operating systems, all the languages, all the DDKs and SDKs, all of Office, all of Back Office, with monthly updates, as well as most major betas, and some support calls to tech support. This includes international flavors if you want them.)
