Hi all

We (my employer and I) don't want to spend money on the "MS exam circus" as
the ROI is zero. Thus, our official Small Business Specialist status will be
lost (and our clients don't care as they hardly knew that anyway). No big
deal. 

However, that status have the additional benefit that combined with the
Action Pack Subscription (where the ROI is huge) you are offered Visual
Studio Standard 2005 for free. So no SB partner => no free VS which is bad
now that VS2008 is close.

But a new free add-on to the Action Pack is now announced which could be of
interest for those of you not having Visual Studio yet or have felt the
limitations of the free Express editions, a "special edition toolkit" for
Web Solution Providers:

https://partner.microsoft.com/webresourcekit 

It includes Microsoft Visual Studio Standard 2008 and Expression Studio.
The estimated ship date for the kit is January 2008.

One of the steps to obtain the kit is to:

  Successfully complete one of three free online courses and the 
  associated assessment with a score of 70 percent or higher ..

These seems to have a duration from 0,5 to 1,5 hours, so you have to pay by
spending some of your valuable time!
