- I understand you get the development system, which includes the OS, tools
- and doc files. Don't know for sure yet, MS and their outlet didn't come up
- to speed in Germany till now :-(
- Some time ago I read that this doesn't necessarily imply you'll get updates
- on the compilers, i.e. you get a "snapshot" of MSC with each SDK, but
- you don't have anything like an MSC license (now would that be a bargain!)
- Maybe Alistair could elaborate. There have been lots of small statements
- scattered around. Could somebody at MS post the official upgrade policy,
- what licenses you have and which you don't etc. ?
