Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers - use MSDN, not TechNet.

• zokier 13y ago
  MSDN seems significantly more expensive than what I remember TechNet being, $1200 if you need SQL server, $6200(!) if you need Office. And WTF are "Tech support incidents"? Are they billing for bug reports?

    They generally refund if they confirm that it is a real bug.

    There is a new "MSDN Operating systems" subscription for $700(+ $500/yr) to get the server software part that would otherwise be in MSDN premium. Edit: Nevermind. The OS subscription doesn't include the server software like SQL and exchange.

    Tech Support Incidents ain't exactly new; that's how it worked under TechNet too.

    Billing for bug reports is a common practice in the commercial software world to avoid overflow of bogus reports.
