You don't really get anything in the Partner program which is free. The
Action Pack is $299/yr and the Action Pack Plus is $399/yr. The Plus gets
you a subscription of Microsoft bCentral List Builder in addition to what
you get in the Action Pack subscription.

Es verdad.  I was just wondering if the additional stuff you get in the
partner program was worth the extra $75.
