Old MSDN downloads   
Hi,

Can we go back to the old style of MSDN downloads... please?

Everything about this new style is worse than before:

- General browsing
- Looking for what downloads has been recently added
- Trying to find volume license keys and activation counts

Thanks
Brian

On the right side you see "New Subscriber downloads"

Via RSS:
http://www.microsoft.com/feeds/msdn/en-us/subscriptions/msdndata.xml

Although it's not 100% up to date (".. what's new.. huh... ;-) ).

I am aware of the link but there is far too much noise.

The 5 most recent additions at the moment are:

    Windows XP Home Edition-Retail
    Windows XP Professional-Retail
    Windows XP Professional-VL
    Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack Beta
    Office 2007 Service Pack

Why is Windows XP listed? Is this because SP3 has been released? I can't 
really tell if this is the real reason but when I click on the link I get to 
a generic Windows XP search result rather than the recently added content. 
This is the way most of the items in the list are.

The old MSDN interface would just provide links to the new files.

Thanks

Maybe a XP that has SP3 integrated?

Then maybe tell me that the new file is:

- Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 (x86) - CD (English)

?

Rather than just say "Windows XP". If there are multiple XP related files it 
should list each one.

I am interested in the Volume license version of XP with SP3 but can't seem 
to find it. I don't see how I can rely on new downloads for this 
information.

Thanks

PS. Has it been Silverlighted?? If so, then not a great advert to the 
developer community...
