Looks like Microsoft is ending this subscription:

Sad, I rather like this offering.

Are they blaming Technet Plus for a lack of sales of the last 3 OS's?

(They used to give 10 keys per product, and if you requested them all before you let you let your subscription lapse... )

'So-kay, Linux distros have been better than the last few version of Windows Desktop OS's anyways.

Suxorz...

Linux is looking better and better every time I look.

I had no idea. That service was lovely! Linux is wonderful indeed, but for gaming I still prefer windows. I suppose it all depends on what you do.

Well, there's still Action Pack and Spark for much of that stuff anyway.

I think if you renew by 8/31/2013, you'll get one more year out of it.

If it wasn't for technet, I would never have figured out how MSFT volume licensing worked, and wouldn't have purchased SA or anything more than the OEM MSFT tax. The other people in my office would still be trying to find their Office XP (pre-2003) disc to install that one license on 10 different computers.

Apparently I am in the minority, but technet was a good marketing tool.
