I got an MCAD once because my employer was offering it for free. This was so they could secure a "partner" status and get a license discount.

That's mostly why people bothered with it.

It was completely no use whatsoever. In fact looking back the contents were stupid and dangerous.

Same here, but MCSE used to come with all sorts of goodies like a free TechNet subscription. That ceased long ago however.

Indeed. Although now I just fire up an instance in AWS for a bit if we need to play with something. But I rarely if ever touch windows now past using it as a shell for some electron apps and terminals :)
