I let my Plus subscription lapse last year and was considering renewing. I guess standard doesn't include server OS, but I still see nowhere that explicitly states it one way or the other. The blog says "Does not include Enterprise or Dynamics software.", and the technet page says "Does not include *some *Enterprise or Dynamics software."
The footnote here ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/default.aspx) says "For full product titles included in each subscription please reference the TechNet Subscriptions FAQ <http://technet.microsoft.com/subscriptions/ms772427.aspx> ." The FAQ, of course, has no list of full product titles. It does indicate standard is focused on desktop level, but also states "TechNet Standard does not include some enterprise editions of Microsoft software". Not sure what this means exactly (Windows 7 Enterprise Edition not included? is there such a thing?). Just seems they're being vague about the whole thing.
