I thought it very nice of Microsoft to provide me more video’s to stuff my Zune with prior to my leaving on vacation… :p

I do wish the download pages for these MSDN Community CD’s included more information about the contents. It would be much easier to determine if a given CD was worth the download if the same information provided on the ISO in the start.htm was also available on the download page. Or at least a link to it… It’s kind of a pain having to download the ISO just to see what’s on it…
