This is the last week that Microsoft TechNet subscriptions will be available for new purchase. I've got a couple of laptops and a desktop that I need to upgrade the OS on (yeah, I'm still running XP) and additionally the copies of Office Pro, Visio and a couple of other items would be convenient for work plus let me do some experimenting with MS technology. The $199 price is a good deal but what concerns me is what happens after the subscription expires. The license keys used to be in perpetuity, but a couple of years ago they changed the wording on the license and it would suck if the keys quit working after the subscription expires.They aren't being very clear in their explanations with the shutting down of TechNet.
Thoughts? Thanks |
