Hi all,
I was asked by my supervisor to decide which development tool should I choose for a software application. I decided to go with visual studio.net. Then they ordered it, it turns out to be almost 10 cds in a package.

I expected only one cd to install the visual studio.net, in my package, there is lots of other that I don't know what/how to use them, such as exchage server service pack 3, windows 2000 advance server service pack, commerce server development tools...

I wonder if these are just bonus software or required/needed for visual studio.net

I programmed vb for years, but really the first time get in touch with .net. i asked this question here because I work with non-technical person so I guess no one here in my office knows this question better than myself
