[AccessD] OT: Help for Visual Studio

And get this, I had to choose how to upgrade my "Universal" subscription to
a "premium" account in order that they might decide what parts of Visual
Studio 2005 I get. I no longer get everything with a "Universal"
subscription. If I had a premium subsciption I would. How can you constantly
screw with the titles of products and expect not to irritate people? How is
"Premium" a more inclusive term than "Universal".

MS Marketing at its worst.

Especially when the "extra" is an MSDN subscription to the tune of thousands
of dollars.

Maybe it was a one-time thing -- and it was a few years ago -- but I got a
one-year sub with purchase. I just don't remember what I bought. :) 

I don't think making you pay extra for the "manual" is a real good pr move.

I didn't.
