Can I legally take my work's Visual Studio 2008 CD and install it at home?

Question

I have been told that Microsoft allow employees of any company that uses it's products, such as Visual Studio 2008 or Office, to install them on their home machines.

Before I do so, is this correct? It doesn't sound right to me, but I know microsoft have something called the "Home Use Program" but I'm not familiar with it and haven't seen VS2008 mentioned at all.

Many thanks.

Answer 1

The Home Use Program is for office products not Visual Studio, unfortunately.

Answer 2

No, this is not correct. There are no such regulations concerning developer products.
