I really miss the MSDN CD-ROMs. They had all of the information without network latency. Indexed and searchable. Categorized in a tree, complete with code examples you could immediately try. Press F1 on a function and there is the reference.

Most of the old APIs still work exactly the same so I am frequently tempted to look stuff up in my VS6 install just because it's so fast and convenient.

MSDN_Library_October_2001 is the latest one they mailed out for Visual Studio 6.

you can download MS documentation via visual studio installer. Under "Individual Components", it's called "Help viewer"

Thanks. I didn't know that.

I've got Visual Studio.NET 2003 on CD, and it comes with a slightly more up-to-date MSDN library. I wonder what the most up-to-date version is.
