First! MSDN subscription is now available for IT professionals!

We are pleased to announce that for the first time, IT specialists have gained access to virtually all Microsoft software, which can now be used not only to get familiar with software, but also to solve various tasks in a non-production environment: emulation of production infrastructure, test benches, trial operation, product research etc. An MSDN subscription includes all the rights and features previously only available to developers, without the need to purchase Visual Studio.
MSDN Platforms subscribers receive:
• access to more than 900 Microsoft products,
• solving two incidents by technical support per year,
• two sets of electronic courses Microsoft E-Learning,
• soon: prepaid access to Windows Azure in the amount of $ 1,800 per year, which fully pays for the cost of a subscription.
What makes MSDN Platforms different from TechNet?The principal difference to a TechNet subscription is limited usage rights - the software in a TechNet subscription can only be used to familiarize yourself with Microsoft products, all other scenarios with this subscription are not allowed. Only a MSDN Platforms subscription allows IT professionals to ensure the legality of non-production environments, especially in complex, weakly controlled installation scenarios for a large number of products.
