Visual studio.NET comes on 11 CDs. I think I know what I'm doing for the rest of the afternoon.

So, suddenly the idea of VS.NET being on 11 CDs is expounded into SQL Server, service packs for the OS, and another OS entirely? Hmm.

Well, they all came in one big shrink wrapped bundle that was supposed to be "Visual Studio.NET 2003" and all 11 disks say "Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003" at the top of them.

 

My MSDN International Edition is like 50 DVDs. I win, I win!

I downloaded it from VT's engineering software distribution FTP.

Suckas.
