Visual Studio 2008 and MSDN Subscription

[Dario Solera]

Given all the recent discussions about VS2008 and its supposedly imminent release, I have a dumb question. I have a MSDN Premium Subscription. Will it include VS2008 like it includes VS2005? Will I be able to use it after the subscription expires (May 2008)?

If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe - but not a personality. - Charlie Brooker My Blog - My Photos - ScrewTurn Wiki

It's due to RTM by the end of the month and should appear as a download on MSDN pretty soon afterwards and yes, as with most stuff on MSDN it's a perpetual license so you can continue using it after your subscription runs out. :)

Should be yes to all. I would imagine the VS2008 will be available for download by the end of the month. With MSDN subscriptions, your license continues past the expiration date.

I wonder if I can get a 1 day subscription then? ;P

The rule of three: "The first time you notice something that might repeat, don't generalize it. The second time the situation occurs, develop in a similar fashion -- possibly even copy/paste -- but don't generalize yet. On the third time, look to generalize the approach."

Sure you can! And it costs no more than a one-year subscription...
