Hi Mark: This does sound very interesting... I have been approached lately on becoming part of a start up company and this proposal by MS could go a long way in this venture...

Hello All, Sorry for changing the subject line, but it is a slightly different subject. Have you all heard of Microsoft Bizspark<http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/> ? When I heard of it I thought that it was too good to be true. My Brother - in - Law signed up to it. I eventually submitted a request myself and voila, I was accepted and I now have three years of full MSDN access and have to pay $100 when I leave in three years time. Read the requirements carefully, and talk to a local partner for advice so as to optimize your application. As I type I have office 2010 installed on my machine and VS2010 waiting to be installed! AFAICS, this program trumps everything that MS has to offer - its virtually free and once you are accepted it lasts three years.
