Yes well at the end of the day, unless someone from MS visits every subscriber, they dunno what your using it for do they. And how many end users can't afford the software off the shelf anyway and use pirate copies. So paying for action pack is certainly better than doing that, at least you have legit software, and if youre a developer (which we are on this list) then your within the terms of licensing agremeent. Almost every MSDE/Action Pack subscriber I know uses their subscription to kit out their entire office with XP, office, etc etc.

All the software u need for only £299 yearly Yes, but most end users are not eligible for MS Action Pack. Sure, anyone can sign up for it, but the Action Pack licensing requirements are pretty clear.
