How long does it usually take to get the first set of CD's?
:)
Took about 3 weeks initially and they are still coming 6 month later.
Well, that's good to know. The site says 7-10 days, so I was getting a little worried. I ordered them around the 5th or 6th of this month.
They're normally very good at getting the CDs/DVDs sent out.
You should have ordered off me - I'd of given you a good price ;)
How much did you pay ?
With the DVD rebate and the discount I got through work, it'll end up costing me about $2k.
$2,000 for crappy MSDN!?!?
Holy **** dude! That's ****ing robbery
Erm, yes, quite...
You're not actually buying it for that much, are you?Quote:

Damn I'd rather buy a nice plasma television then a subscription to some DVDs that arn't even very good right now.
Do you know what a MSDN subscription is? For 2K, you get a hell of a lot (that is if he got the universal subscription). For home users, it really isn't a need, but for a dev business, even a one man business, it is a bargin!Quote:

On the list are:
ALL versions of Windows.
ALL versions of Office.
ALL versions of VS.Net
ALL versions of SQL Server
ALL of the other crap MS puts out. I have way over 150 CD's from the year I won the Universal subscription. It was awesome.
You get all the beta's, MSDN library updates, etc also.
I tried pricing it all out one time if I were to buy it all, and I stopped when I got to over 10K.
Or work for a Microsoft Solution Provider, and you don't have to pay for the MSDN Subscription. :)
I'd still rather a plasmaQuote:

Universal
On the plus side a renewal comes at a 33% discount so next year it should cost much more than $1500....
Of course you could also investigate the "Empower" program for ISVs - in that you get 5 Universals for about $800..of course you have to sell your sould to M$, but that's a given in this profession anyway.
Considering that @ $2,000.00 you can make the thing pay for it's self in less than a 40 hour work week, It's not that bad of a deal.
