I am confused a bit by MSDN (microsoft) site. Do i really need to get subscription of MSDN in order to get Visual Studio 2010?
I dont' need MSDN or I really can't afford MSDN. I just wanna buy Visual Studio 2010. Any help here?
I bought VS2010 from the MS store. It comes with a limited version (MSDN essentials) of MSDN. I think its sort of a "bonus" deal. But the price is the same as without it so you might as well go for it.
I thought you could, but a quick check on Amazon (UK) seems to indicate that all the retail versions come with some form of MSDN subscription or Team Foundation Server. I'm guessing that you're an individual developers so you wouldn't want the TFS version.
Have you checked out the Express editions?
I already have VS2008 Professional Edition
Then you could try the upgrade:
