MSDN

I am the sole .net developer for a small company. My projects span many .net technologies including WinForms, WPF, SQL, XNA, Linq, WCF, WTF?, and others.

I struggle staying on top of all these projects so I'm looking to make my life easier with the release of VS2010. Without a mentor I rely heavily on StackOverflow and whatever else Google comes up with. Should I convince my company to get an edition with an MSDN subscription? Is it one of those things where once you have it, you can't imagine life without it?

What about the source control that comes with VS2010, do you all find it better than an SVN server?

We're looking to hire another programmer this year, would I be best off getting a Team edition of VS2010 to be best prepared for that hire?

Thanks!
