>Hey George, Do MSDN Unversal Subcribers receive bug fixes (i.e. batches and service pack)?

Yep! There are monthly updates. For example, Office 2000 SR-1 was in the last shipment (July). Look at the subscription index, that will tell you about upcoming and previous releases. We haven't, however, received VS 6.0 SP4 as yet, but we will.
