Evan,

Well, I don't have the comprehensive list in front of me. However, let me start the list and perhaps others will add to it, ok?

Remember, this is for the MSDN Universal Edition

NT 2000 Professional & Server (data center not released yet)
NT 3.51 (all)
NT 4.0 (all versions & SPs)
Windows '98 (all versions & builds + SPs)
Windows 3.X (all versions including Windows for Workgroups)
Windows ME
DOS (all versions back as far as 5.0 if I correctly recall)
SQL Server 7.0, 2000 - 5 license (honor system) but otherwise complete
Visual Studio - Enterprise (complete) Version (VFP, C++, VB 6.0, etc etc)
MS Office '97 (on the web download site)
MS Office 2000 - Complete Developer Edition - Word, Excel, Access, Frontpage, etc etc
Back Office Server(complete)
Commerce Server
Exchange Server 5.0, 5.5 & 2000 (beta)
All Windows SDKs (CE, W2K, W98, etc)
DirectX
All the product's Resource Kits (additional & supporting tech. docs & tools)
Window Logo stuff

ALl the others like MASM 6.11, Frontpage 2000, Visio 2000, SQL 6.x etc

Plus at the MSDN subscibers download page you can download all the non-English language versions of everything.

Essentially it is all operating systems, all development tools, all office products and all supporting products.


Except for games I cannot think of anything that is not included.

Best,

DD
