[AccessD] OT: Help for Visual Studio

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.

The annual subscription to just the documentation MSDN is more like $300.
It's the universal subscription that is in the thousands.

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.
