Introduction To MSDN Subscriptions - 15% discount offer for existing Visual Studio customers
During the years that I'm responsible for the developer products marketing in Belgium and Luxembourg, I found myself giving the same presentation on MSDN Subscriptions over and over again: people needed understand the MSDN Subscriptions, either because they want to buy one, or because they are not using the MSDN Subscription to its full potential.
In the following 8 minute Chopsticks video "Intro to MSDN Subscriptions", I give a short, simplified explanation of the MSDN Subscriptions.
Here are some additional resources:
