MSDN Subscriptions

[epic]

For some of those who may have been interested in MSDN or multiple Operating Platforms from Microsoft. Microsoft offers a subscription base for a DVD or Multipak for an annual subscription fee, there are also "student discounts".

However, it is not cheap, but you get all the Platforms you would need legally. You do not need to look over your shoulder. After you pay the initial fee you are not obligated to purchase another year of service and your license key(s) will still be valid. All you will miss out on are the updates as a MSDN subscriber.

I have been subscribing to them for 3 years and I can tell you it is worth the investment, at any age.

btw... if you decide on MSDN do not take offers from scammers or fraudulent claims. The only site you can purhcase your MSDN is at Microsoft or affiliated dealers.

That's what I got!! Love it too!!!!!!! i have been using it for about 5-6 years.

just wanted to add:

They also have different prices depending on what you want - Just Beta, just Windows, just Office, etc.. or all the above.

There is also discounts for Corp, and large bus.

In the long run, it's very cheap! Think about it, Legal, Fast Downloads, Can access from anywhere, All Downloads are in *.ISO format, Tech Support, Free Newsletter with Newest Microsoft Info, lots of other goodies...
