As the receiver of the Microsoft MVP award, I was able to snag a free premium MSDN Team Suite software subscription. Well a few days ago I received my first shipment, with a new shipment coming once a month for the next year. In it I received a zipper folder and about 40 DVDs (yes, DVDs, not CDs) of software, betas, and SDK’s. Some of the notables:

• Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite
• Visual SourceSafe 2005
• Windows XP Home, Professional, x64, and Tablet PC Editions
• Windows XP Media Center 2005
• Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, Standard, and Web Editions
• Windows Vista Beta 2
• Office 2003 Professional and Standard Editions
• OneNote 2003
• Visio 2003 Professional
• Office Project Server 2003
• FrontPage 2003
• SQL Server 2005 Developer, Enterprise, and Standard Editions
• SQL Server 2000 SP4
• Visual FoxPro 9
• eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
• BizTalk Server 2006
• Office Communicator 2005
• Exchange Server 2003
• Virtual Server 2005
• Virtual PC 2004

So I have lots of toys to play with :)
