Andy you are incorrect on all counts. There is no additonal cost other than the cost of the action pack. I know because we have 2 subscriptions.
There is nothing stopping you using any of the software within the pack for personal use. In fact it would be rather impossible to use any of it for development without doing that as you have to install it. The pack comes with 10 installs of Windows XP for your office for instance. Also you will note that the original post stated it was for his own use, and the fact that he is on this list means he is a developer and thus officially he would be using it for development anyway. Talk about being Pedantic, sheesh.

The licenses are NOT intended for personal use, hosting customers applications, or installing on customer sites. So, if you put any of this software into production your are violating your license. As an aside, you also need to be a level 3 Registered Member of the Microsoft Partner Program, which undoubtedly costs more money.
