MSDN provides monthly updates (except in 2007 one month was skipped due to no updated software ready for release) as part of the package. Once MSDN's annual update is over you can still use the entire MDSN package. You can use all the apps and OS for your PCs (within certain amounts and uses). Normally their top end (Universal?) MSDN is over $3,000. But under their ISV Empower program it is under $400.00! Just one use of XP Pro and full blown Office alone makes it worth while - IF you "qualify" for the ISV program. I have used the ISV/MSDN program for 3 years, after a few years of full price MSDN, and have found it entirely worth while.
