John, I'd considered buying the Action Pack, but Hindman turned me on to this: http://members.microsoft.com/partner/competency/isvcomp/empower/default.aspx It's a full Universal subscription for $375 a year for a maximum of two years. The biggest gotcha is that you must promise to develop a product for commercial distribution within 18 - 24 months. There's no renewal at the discounted price after the two years. I went with it because the Universal subscription, of course, includes all the .NET stuff. There's also a goodly amount of beta stuff (VS 2005 Beta, .NET 2.0 Beta, FP 9.0 Beta) for what it's worth. The Enterprise editions are the norm in the Universal subscription. 5 licenses, though, not 10. But 14 DVDs crammed with stuff! Holy smokes!
