To qualify for upgrade pricing of Expression Studio...

You must be a licensed user of one of the following products to be eligible for the upgrade versions.

Any Microsoft® Expression product

Any Adobe Creative Suite product

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or later

I've got a boxed, retail copy of Visual Studio 2003, so it appears I've missed that particular boat.

On the other hand, I've got an MSDN Professional subscription, which includes Visual Studio. Does this copy of Visual Studio entitle me to upgrade pricing on Expression Studio?

Given that you can't get Visual Studio without an MSDN subscription, I figure it does, but I can't find anything definitive.
