Dear Group, Just last night I discovered that Microsoft has a service on its Technet site that gives you a year's subscription to all Microsoft software for "evaluation" purposes. $349 a year allows you to download everything, including the Windows 7 Release Candidate, Windows Server 2008, etc. I wondered if any of you lot had a Technet subscription. I believe that Rocky has a Power Pack (?) subscription which is different. Some of you have MSDN subscriptions, too. What do you think of them? Have they been worth it? In '04 I found out from Hindman, I think, about the Microsoft ISV program. I was able to get a full Universal MSDN subscription with 5 licenses for Office, Windows, etc., for $295 a year for two years. THAT was very, very handy. I was considering setting up a Windows SBS 2008 or Windows Server 2008 as a Virtual PC on my system since it's got some fairly good oomph (8 GB RAM, dual core 3 GHz Intel processor, Raid 1 500 GB array). Any thoughts about Technet? Regards, Steve Erbach Neenah, WI http://www.NeenahPolitics.com http://www.TheTownCrank.com
