		drawkbox on April 12, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Visual Studio 2010 released I was blown away by this. I have used all versions of VS and always worked at places that provided it or were gold partners or in the MSDN subscriptions. The cost of one copy is MORE than a MSDN subscription. Seriously what is up with the pricing? This is waaaaay too much for an IDE these days. I could buy both Maya and 3dsmax cheaper than that.

That's because it includes an MSDN sub. Still astronomical, I know.

iirc the Ultimate version doesn't come with the professional MSDN subscription.
