如何处理新的 MSDN 订阅？
我已经在 .NET 中专业编程三年了，并且一直在寻求提高我的能力工具。我是一家公司的唯一开发人员，该公司最近购买了 MSDN 订阅以及 Visual Studio 2008专业。订阅可以在哪些方面发挥作用？
我习惯了每天 80% 的时间都在谷歌上搜索来弄清楚如何做我想做的事情，并且通过这种方式我学到了很多东西。我很难看出订阅能给我带来什么。
I've been programming in .NET professionally for three years and am always looking to sharpen my tools. I'm a sole developer for a company that recently purchased a MSDN subscription along with Visual Studio 2008 Professional. In what ways can the subscription be useful?
I'm used to googling 80% of the day to figure out how to do what I want to do, and I've learned a ton that way. I'm having trouble seeing what the subscription gains me.

MSDN 订阅提供的不仅仅是其文档的离线版本。您可以访问 Microsoft 制造的几乎所有相关软件，包括 Windows、SQL Server、Office 等。它还包括以前的版本以及尚未向公众发布的版本。
它非常适合测试、开发新平台以及了解您通常不会接触到的其他 Microsoft 产品的新功能。
An MSDN subscription provides much more than simply an offline version of their documentation. You get access to nearly all relevant software that Microsoft makes including Windows, SQL Server, Office, etc. It also includes previous versions, as well as versions that are not yet released to the public.
It's great for testing, developing for a new platform, and for learning about new features in other Microsoft products in which you may not normally be exposed to.
MSDN 订阅并不一定意味着访问文档，但它为您提供了一些关键的功能。
我确信还有其他一些事情，但许可证和支持优势是迄今为止订阅 MSDN 的“理由”。
The MSDN subscription isn't necessarily about access to documentation but it gives you a few key pieces of functionality.
I'm sure that there are some other things, but the license and support benefits are by far the "reasons" to have a MSDN subscription.
如果您确实想提高作为 .NET 开发人员的能力，最好的方法就是花钱其他开发人员使用相同工具集的时间。 .NET 环境中的工具太多，无法亲自体验。特别是因为您没有其他同事与您一起探索 .NET 环境。
如果我是您，我会在网络上查找您附近的任何 .NET 用户组并参加他们的会议。这些可能是获取新想法/使用工具的方法的好地方。
If you really want to grow your ability as a .NET developer the best way is to spend time around other developers using the same toolset. There are just too many tools in the .NET environment to experience them all yourself. Especially since you don't have other co-workers explorering the .NET environment with you.
If I were you, I'd check the web for any .NET user's groups located near you and attend their meetings. Those can be great places to pick up new ideas/ways of using the tools.
除此之外，您还可以获得 Visual Studio 和 Office 的许可证。您还可以访问可用于测试您自己的软件的各种操作系统和应用程序。例如，您可能想在不同版本的 Windows 上测试您的软件，或者如果您为 Exchange Server 开发软件，您可能需要安装此产品，而不必购买完整的生产许可证才能开发软件。
Among other things you get a license for Visual Studio and Office. You also get access to a wide range of operating systems and applications you may use to test your own software. For instance you may want to test your software on different versions of Windows, or if you develop software for Exchange Server you probably need to install this product without having to buy a full production license just to be able to develop software.
