As a primarily linux web dev I still thought it worth seeing what the MS technologies might offer, they told me to bog off.
I keep seeing people post things like this and I cannot imagine how dumb someone has to be to get turned down for BizSpark. They are so amazingly clear in the rules of what you need:
1. A custom domain email address
2. Some semblance of a web site
I registered a domain name for $4, made a free Outlook.com email address on it and put up a "Coming Soon!" website. I then spent 5 minutes filling out the application. 4 days later I was approved with no follow up questions.
Now I get free Microsoft software for life (you keep your MSDN subscription licenses forever), free Azure hosting for three years and a ton of other benefits. For a $4 domain that I'll be using as a startup and about 10 minutes of my time.
