MSDN Universal is not necessary for this, the smaller versions are by far
enough.

True, you don’t need any of the MSDN packages but you get incidents from MS
with MSDN and some of the items in it, including Office and the servers are
useful in testing file systems and filters. If your filter or filesystem
works with all the Office programs and Notepad, you have a really good
driver with very few bugs left to find - if any.
