What extra do we get with the MSDN subscription ? Does the VS pro has a in depth help function or that comes with MSDN subscription? Thanks

The Visual Studio product has an extensive Help utility. However, this is the same documentation that is available publicly online through Microsoft's website. The MSDN subscription entitles you to live support (via chat or phone), automatic updates, access to the Team Foundation Server (TFS) portal, a starter account for Windows Azure ("cloud"), e-learning opportunities and more. Using the TFS portal is particularly useful if managing a team of developers (2 or more). If you are a good self-learner, developing for personal use only, or you are a team of one, the benefits of Visual Studio can be realized without the MSDN subscription.

Chris, I do not believe that this is a upgrade for Ultimate. Question, why would your license have expired? You can now download VS 2013 community edition.

Hey guys, so alexander miller was actually right. You can upgrade to version 10 for free you just need to follow the instructions alex gave above. I hastily returned it though without realizing. Yes, this is a good deal but I ended up getting just the mbox 3 without the full version of pro tools since I've yet to even open pro tools lol. (Still doing everything in ableton live)

I don't know, but I will say that I bought the software at Amazon for much less than $219. I believe I paid about $40. I am not a power user, but I do regularly use the word processing and spreadsheet applications. I've also used the Presentations application, but less often. For my level of use, it has no peer. Unlike MSWord, I don't think I have ever needed it to do something it was not capable of.

The laptop comes with Windows 8.1 Standard installed. The standard edition will not let you join the laptop to an active directory domain or use the Hyper-V hypervisor to create virtual machines, among other things. I think the upgrade to Pro can be found for around $100.

The pro version is for windows only the Mac version is non pro, download a 30 day free trial at intuit before you buy.

hey thanks for the update! I found this on Avid's website:"You're eligible to receive a free upgrade to Pro Tools 10 if you purchased and registered this product (bundled with Pro Tools 9) on or after October 1, 2011 (register your purchase). If you qualify, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to get your free upgrade."(http://www.avid.com/US/products/Pro-Tools-plus-Mbox)So I went ahead and ordered it from amazon. Hopefully all this is true and we can get version 10 for free!

It is the full verison of windows but not the PRO version of windows. So, it doesn't come with the all of the networking options, such as remote desktop or windows media center.

Yea, it first comes as the preview version for all of them, but once you set up your account they give all the Microsoft office things like PowerPoint, word, and outlook. And it's all free!

First of all you are NOT a dummy. Unfortunately, you do have to purchase the Microsoft program you prefer. I got mine thru Tigerdirect. It's one of the cheapest sites around. Good luck! Margaret

No, there is no Windows 8 Pro version of the S7. You have to buy the Microsoft upgrade package. The upgrade package does not include the Media Center which was free until Jan 31st (sorry). Still I like the computer.

One thing that isn't that clear from the website or manual: You must have Microsoft .net 2 on your PC (I had never previously used .net and didn't have it installed). The .net 2 is important. I called and asked whether the current version of .net ,4, would work, and the person in whatever country he was in said no problem, as long as it was .2 or greater. I tried to update and it took a long time (it's also real important that you don't run out of power during the process , so it's always good to get one of the inexpensive AC power supplies available) with nothing happening. Also noticed that Content Manager was complaining. Uninstalled .net 4 and put .2 on (it's still available on Microsoft's site). The update went perfectly and didn't take very long over a broadband connection. Called back to the site and asked again about .net; the tech said he'd check with a supervisor and came back and said, absolutely Content Mange would work with any .net 2 or later, including .4. When I told him that I could only get it to work with .2 and not .4 he asked the same guy (I could hear them in the background) and without missing a beat came back and said, "It only works with .2". I asked if Magellan was going to update Content Manager since who knew how long .2 would be available (Windows Update has already upgraded it to 3.5 on my system)? He said he was sure they would, but didn't know when. I guess I'll find out in Oct. 2011 (Magellan updates maps every 18 months and the last one was in April, 2010). With lifetime maps it's a decent machine for the price, depending on how long they choose to update the maps, as long as the update issue gets resolved

It comes with Windows 8 pro. After the automatic updates are downloaded and installed it will get updated to Windows 8.1 pro

Yes, already been done and working fine. Using Pro with all features. No major issues, but do not upgrade but fresh install as upgrade could cause problems.

Nope. Only VS2012 can be upgraded to VS2013. All others have to buy the full retail.

We will install MS Office 2007 Pro Plus for you. It is the genuine version.

Is this a upgrade to pro then you need ser numbers to ad to upgrade. If you have the standard or pro full then just follow install with your new cd lic will be on back of cd envelope. Then go to poser site and up date to latest software. Beware that poser is very hard to learn and you will need a lot of extras to really make it work like a pro. I would recomend Daz studio 3D You can do the same as poser and its free and there more sites on learning Daz and extras or cheaper to buy. Hope this works compare Daz 3d and Poser on line at you tube I have them all I like Daz much better easyer to get started and learn.Bob J .St Louis,MO
