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.

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?

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 Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.
