Hi All,
I've been pondering the idea of signing up to Technet Plus from Microsoft, and whilst im not quite ready to commit just yet im guessing this could come in handy to people on here who are thinking about a new OS like Vista Home Premium with Office etc or Vista Ultimate.

For those that arent in the know, with Technet plus you get full access to every single Microsoft App ever made, (from DOS 6 right upto Betas of Server 2008) for your subscription fee, which is a non to unreasonable amount of money ~280 quid.

The key here is you get ALL of the following even if you only sign up for a year.

* TechNet Plus subscriptions are full of high-value resources for IT Professionals working with Microsoft technology
* Instant access to all of the TechNet Plus resources via the online, subscriber-only
* No need to wait for discs!
* Get software, product keys and the latest Library and content the moment it's available
* Download only what you need for your job
* TechNet Plus Benefits Portal
* Full version Microsoft commercial software for evaluation and planning purposes
* Includes all Server, Client and Application software titles from Microsoft
* No feature, technical, or time limitations
* Early betas for Microsoft technologies such as Windows Vista, Office 2007
* 2 Professional level (24x7) technical support incidents with each subscription Unlimited support in the TechNet Plus Managed Newsgroups
* 20% discounts on additional support incidents
* TechNet Plus Online Concierge Live, person-to-person search assistance chat
* Official Microsoft E-Learning
* The latest content, tools, security, user docs and support KB delivered each month
* The best technical Microsoft Webcasts available for offline viewing
* Provides one subscriber with full access to all TechNet Plus resources
* This subscription type is appropriate for workgroups that need to share the TechNet Plus Library inside the firewall within a local area network

Truly a worthy amount of cash IF your into your Microsoft stuff.
