[AccessD] Slightly OT: Microsoft ActionPack

Erwin is correct :)

The official blurb from Microsoft on my local MS site is:

"The Microsoft Action Pack Subscription is restricted to resellers, consultants,
value-added resellers, value-added providers, system integrators, developers,
system builders, hosts, service providers, and IT professionals who sell
Microsoft products or provide solutions based on Microsoft products and
technologies to third-party customers."

See ... They do include developers there :)

But alas, as someone pointed out it doesn't come with the developers edition of
office.  That said, it is still a very good price, and I am on my 2nd year of
using it.
