You don't want to buy a copy of MSDN universal.  $1200/year comes to
mind.

Instead, you want to order just the Visual Studio Beta on CD from $12 at:
http://developerstore.com/devstore/product.asp?productID=7590&store=Toolbox_NA

The $12 is for shipping and handling; the CD is free.  If you ask nice, I might
burn you a copy, plus Visual Perl, for the January meeting.
