You’ll basically get a full retail MSDN subscription"Not any more... They just removed all Office 2007 editions except for Professional Plus. If you want to install the full suite you have to install all the additional applications individually which is a total PITA. Windows 7 and Vista are now only available in Ultimate Editions. XP strangely only available in Media Centre EditionThe other shocker is Windows 7 and Office 2007 now only allow 2 keys to be generated whereas previously they allowed 10 keys. OK, still well worth the money but not an unrestricted subscription any more by any means... “Once you get in you’ll have access to pretty much all the software Microsoft makes including all versions of Office 2007 (Ultimate, Professional, Enterprise, etc…), all versions of Windows 7 (Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium, etc…), all versions of Vista, and so on.

Meaning "not for production use".Even the operating system can't be used on a machine that will be used for daily work. Mostly the license only allow for development, test, and demonstration.
