You can download the msdn ISO images from microsoft: http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/c/bdccea1b-96d9-4ad9-8045-56619af95835/qtr40enud1.img After downloading, you can either burn the images (say with nero) or use a virtual cd player which can mount image files. Took around 4h to download all these files via DSL. -- |

Strange... according to Mozilla's Download Manager, the second iso only reaches 140 kB/s while the other two averaged 400-500 kB/s... -- |

Whats stragne is that the second and third ISOs seem to have a differnent "Content-Type" than the first... Konqueror asks to download the first, but Gives me the "Open with" dialog for the second and third.. odd that. -- |

[brag mode]Downloading all three at the same time: 384 KB/s each. And I'm listening to Yahoo LaunchCast (high quality option, of course) and browsing at the same time. -- Play my game: Frasse and the Peas of Kejick |

Are these supposed to be publically available? I thought MSDN is something you had to subscribe to get? |

MSDN is a subscription service, the MSDN library has always been available for free. Anyway, since you can download them from MS, I think it's ok. -- |

Where can I order them? Because I assure you, downloading 2GB over a 56K is not my idea of a good time ... -- |

Well, just because I leave my house unlocked doesn't mean you can come in and take a drink of water from the faucet. I'm just not up to date on what the MSDN subscription gives you versus the MSDN CDs that come with Visual Studio (or that you can apparantly download from microsoft's website). |

Matthew: msdn.microsoft.com has always been free. Why not just put it on some CDs? All it is is chms.. And judging from this '97 copy of MSDN, it gives you ALL the dev packages microsoft puts together, and it looks like there are some copies of NT, and a few IDEs. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |

Do you know if you can get the MSDN CDs of earlier versions (I.E. that goes with Visual Studio 6) ?

The MSDN CDs will tell you wether a function is deprecated, and when support came for it. -- Ryan Patterson - <http://cgamesplay.com/> |
