MSDN Subscriptions...
-
I am currently only a MSDN Library subscriber and what to upgrade to either the Professional or Universal. What is the major difference between the two. Will I have access to all of the same subscriber downloads? I already own VS Pro and know that Universal include the Enterprise edition. I don't want to pay for it twice, so is there anyway that I can upgrade from the library to a Pro or Universal with only upgrade pricing? Also are there any good site with student pricing? Thanks, Joshua

The Pro version is the MSDN Library, but with additionas CD's that contain all of the current and beta operating systems, and platform SDK's. This version goes for between $630 and $700, with academic pricing in the range of $250-$300. The Universal subscription includes everything in the pro subscription, plus all of the enterprise versions of the development tools (VC++, C#, J++, VB, Foxpro, and Back Office, and Microsoft Office, MapPoint, and other goodies. Pricing is between $1600 and $1800, with academic pricing set at between $700 and $800. You can upgrade between versions, but I'm not sure of the specific requirements or restrictions associated with upgrading.
