VS2005 Professional -- is this what I want to use?

[Oenone]

I have an MSDN Universal subscription, and so will be switching over to one
of the new Team System subscriptions shortly.

In the mean-time, I've downloaded VS2005 Professional from MSDN Subscriber
Downloads. Is this the same application which I'll get in my MSDN Team
System shipment DVD, or are there different versions of VS2005?

Looking at the Team System subscription comparisons at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vs2005/editions/team/compare/, it appears
that VS2005 Professional is just one component of the Team System
subscription, and is identical regardless of which type of subscription is
being received. Is my assumption here correct?

Many thanks,

You will have to transition your universal level subscription to one of the
team editions before you see that in the msdn download. Visual Studio 2005
Professional/Standard will be available to any subscriber who has a pro level
subscription and higher. As a universal level subscriber you get a free
upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 once you selected your transition at
http://na.msdn.microsoft.com < --- if you have a retail subscription only!

Media for Visual Studio 2005 and team editions will come in the december
shipment as far as i know from calling in to microsoft customer service.
