Glad I was able to help. enjoy your new TechNet subscription.
Do you feel drunk with power yet??
A little. Naw, but when I woke up a couple hours ago, this was the first thing on my mind. Reason being, I should be receiving the rest of my components to put my HTPC together so having access to a non-expiring Windows 7 will be great. But not only that, I'll have access to all the other MS products like Office, server, IIS, etc. It'll be great to be able to throw this stuff on a test box and set up a real home network to mess around with. Who knows, maybe I may end up volunteering to do more admin/tech work at my job (I work in IT, but in computer operations, however, I'm more than just a button pusher or systems analyst).
It's funny, my job used to pay for these TechNet subscriptions for our admins but stopped long ago due to budgeting. I even forgot that I had a "free" TechNet subscription and put a Spam filter on the emails received long ago so I've been totally out of the loop for years. One of the best freebies I got from TechNet was when Office 98 launched, I was invited to the event (it was at Great America in Santa Clara, CA. Steve Balmer was the keynote speaker) and they gave away a bunch of free stuff and had an awesome all you can eat buffet. After about 4 or 5 hours, they then let us have "run of the park" for free, too.
For $260 a year (or even $360 a year) isn't a bad deal at all. Less than a $1 a day for using a product I use for several hours a day. I should have done this long ago.
By the way, how would they know if you're using it for production use? For example, I was telling my wife about TechNet about an hour ago, and I was saying that I can install W7 on my PC and her PC in the other room because you get 10 license keys. I then told her the only downside is that you wouldn't be able to use it for production purposes, like when she opens her wedding planning business, but then I told her because she's about to buy a new laptop, the laptop will come with it's own license so she'd be good to go in that respect. But the question still stands, how do they know how the license is being use? And why would they give you so many license keys? (to use for something like a training room?)
