It always comes bundled with something else, for example the Developers
connection on CDROM is a product that includes the beta versions of
products, such as the Developer's toolkit.  Past experience shows, that
you need to pay for it yearly to keep the betas updated, and an ever
changing Developer's kit isn't what a developer has in mind...(next
month when you recompile, whooops, start from scratch....

You have to find that one, keep it updated (which means you have to pay
bucks for products you don't need.  I had virtually no benefits
whatsoever from the Developers Connection subscriptions and dropped them
since the contents was always junk of no commercial use unless you
wanted to keep up with upcoming beta software, not all developers need
that.
