title: Can I buy Visual Studio 2013 ULTIMATE without MSDN?
body: <p>As our projects are growing very fast, we are interested in features of Visual Studio 2013 like Profiling and IntelliTrace, which our current IDE (Visual Studio 2008 standard) can not offer.</p>
  
  <p>However, we are not interested in a MSDN subscription. According to</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Editions_feature_grid">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Editions_feature_grid</a></p>
  
  <p>we need the <strong>ultimate</strong> edition.</p>
  
  <p>According to this link (which was already hard to find)</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/mseea/en_US/list/VisualStudio/parentCategoryID.66235500/categoryID.66235600">http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/mseea/en_US/list/VisualStudio/parentCategoryID.66235500/categoryID.66235600</a></p>
  
  <p>the <strong>ultimate</strong> edition is only available with MSDN.</p>
  
  <p>Does "MSDN integration == full" of the first link imply that vs 2013 ultimate is <strong>only</strong> available with a MSDN subscription?</p>
