>I think it was around April of last year that Microsoft "updated" the on line MSDN Library for Visual Studio to the .NET version. Considering that the “product” (Visual Studio 7.0 .NET, etc.) was not released until February of this year seemed strange. This was a problem for me as I am using Visual Studio 6.0 (corporate standard) and it took months to get the MSDN Library installed on my machine. It was very handy to go to the Internet and access the Library but the .NET version did me no good.

You may continue to get some form of support for the most recently replaced product but there will be limitations, conditions and voids that did not exist previously. Just get two Pom Poms – one for each hand and jump up and down shouting, "ra-ra-ra a new version of software is available from Microsoft"!

I know of what you speak, Tom. I have the .NET version of MSDN too (among other things).

I also have a triple boot system so I can get my work done.

(My confidence in MS continued to plummet when I saw they couldn't even keep the colors straight on their MSDS subscription "color-coded" disks ... They're too busy spinning off new versions. I guess it's supposed to make you think you're getting your money's worth. Reminds me of a "record club".)
