None the less... $300 is a bit much to get the manual. Why isn't it just a free download? I purchased the 2001 Visual Studio and the manuals were included. The 2003 version they aren't. This does NOT endear them to their customers. John W.

It's the universal subscription that is in the thousands.

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. :( Susan H.
