What is technet subscription all about?
Will it give me a license for an o/s, vs.net for use in production for "free"?
How does it differ from MSDN?
Solution
This link (http://ladylicensing.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!87F95F1B5B21B01E!1241.entry) has more information (This is the blog of Licensing Escalation Manager at MS). To quote from the link:
"The software provided with an MSDN Subscription is for design, development, testing, and demonstration of applications in a non-production environment.
The software provided with TechNet Plus subscriptions is for evaluation purposes only."
OTHER TIPS
Technet is basically demoware. MSDN is real products.
MSDN is designed for programmers. Technet is designed for non-programming IT professionals.
The way it was explained to me by a Microsoft guy.
Technet is intended for IT professionals to evaluate the various products and use it for providing support for said products. It's also used for planning deployments and testing your custom stuff like macros.
MSDN is intended for development professionals to build and support their own products on or around Microsoft products.
MSDN costs more but think about the target audience - professional developers.
