OHHH
So the MSDN subscription is different. The MSDN subscription is the full Microsoft catalog of software. Every version of Visual Studio, every Windows, Office, MSDN documentation; it's literally everything.
The parents above were talking about just installing Visual Studio. When you purchase Visual Studio it was usually 2-6 discs in my experience (most containing the MSDN documentation). But the MSDN subscription is a very different beast. Granted there should have still been a Visual Studio disc for a specific architecture that you were using and your group should have known if they're using Professional, Team, etc as you'd likely need the same.

That was a fun misunderstanding though :)
