Erwin,

<<It's ment for the typical dealer/reseller/network integrator and not for
the developer.>>

  In other words, sales and marketing<g>

<<Does the MSDN includes OS software like Exchange server, Isa Server, SQL
server, Small Business server etc?>>

  Yes, depending on subscription level

<<I believe MSDN is more expensive too?>>

  Quite a bit.  Retail on a Universal sub is just under $3000, but can be
found from resellers for $1200 or so.  The top level Action Pack is $300 or
$400.  Don't remember which.

Action pack is not solely to sales and marketing, but apart from the OS
software it also includes demo's and sales/marketing tools.
It's ment for the typical dealer/reseller/network integrator and not for the
developer.

Does the MSDN includes OS software like Exchange server, Isa Server, SQL
server, Small Business server etc?

I believe MSDN is more expensive too?

Steve,

<<If you don't mind my saying so, I find that a bit curious. MSDN Universal
includes everything. Why would you want the Action Pack?>>

  As I said, the Action Pack is geared towards marketing and sales.  It's a
different focus.  The only reason software is in there is to help you
explore new areas of technology.

Jim,

>> I've been on it a little over two years.  I have a MSDN Universal
subscription as well. <<

If you don't mind my saying so, I find that a bit curious. MSDN Universal
includes everything. Why would you want the Action Pack?

>> And to answer your question, no because technically your not buying
>> the
Developers Edition and the license to distribute.  Could you?  Yes.  What
Microsoft care?  Probably not. <<

Thanks for the interp.
