To celebrate the transition to the Visual Studio 2010 product lineup, a migration plan exists that greatly benefits MSDN subscribers at the time of the Visual Studio 2010 launch. In the chart below, you can determine which Visual Studio 2010 edition you will be entitled to when Visual Studio 2010 launches, depending on the MSDN Subscription level you have today.
