I see.

So basically MSDN is a collection of *individual* sets of product CDs/DVDs.
So each version of each OS would be in its own set? And a beta of VS would be a separate set from the "production" VS?

Can I also assume that each set is labeled similarly to the 'original' product CDs/DVDs?

Finally, that must make for hundreds of CDs/DVDs in an annual subscription!

Thanks Erik,
