Re: MSDN Library 3 month updates - when did it stop for subscribers?
Hi,
I'd like to back up what Jeff is saying. I have ZERO interest in
downloading huge ISO files with Microsoft's insecure ActiveX
installation of a poor quality download manager. I pay to receive the
media, that's why I subscribe.
I phoned MSDN today and asked about the shipments, they said they
couldn't find the information! They then asked what product I was
interested in. I said how about Windows 2008? She took ages looking at
various screens and said she didn't know, and then asked "is it a
server". At this point I was near to exploding. She said she'd "research
the problem and get back to me", still nothing after eight hours. Very
disappointing. They were keen to post my invoice for next year's
subscription though!
