Don W Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I was just wondering how many people here tack advantage of the Microsoft Tech Net Subscription??? I personally have six PC's in my house, one each in my daughters room, two in the office for my wife and me and one Home Server. I had XP installed on two PC's, Vista on two, and 7 on the one. Now I have 7 ultimate on all 5 PC's and it makes my network run smooth with the Home Group and media sharing. Now I also have Office 2010 loaded on all PC's. When Vail comes out I will also get it. For the subscription price of $360 it was worth it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awraynor Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I also take advantage of the program, with plans to renew next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yes, this has been discussed in the forums and the concensus is that it's a good plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek-accountant Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I use it also. Wish I would have learned about this before I purchased 2 of the Family Packs on release day. We have 5 PC's (not including the WHS) all running Windows 7 now. I did use Tech Net to put Office 2010 on all of our computers. Plus, it is giving me a chance to try different things in a Virtual Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernis Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 It's a great value at $360. And even a better value at $250 with the coupon code TNITQ406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 But don't wait. That coupon runs out at the end of June, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I went to the TechNet site and checked the software Benefits but it doesn't list WHS. Can anyone confirm for sure that WHS is part of the subscription? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
