[AccessD] OT - MSDN Subscriptions

I have heard of this before (Joel Spolsky discussed it on his website)
Great program, except we are not an independent software vendor (ISV).  To
be eligible for this program, we need to do the following:

- Within 18 months of initial membership activation (within 6 months from
renewal), members must publicly announce the new packaged software
application on their own official website. 

- Within 24 months of initial membership activation (within 12 months from
renewal), members must release the new packaged software application to the
targeted marketplace. 

Now, if I could convince management to allow me to sell my creations...

Hi Brett

Don't know what you are about to do, but have you had a look at the
empower program for ISVs:
