I am a Partner and found that but the TechNet pro comes with 2 elearning collections while the standard comes with only 1 collection. Most of the training I have had from the Partner site was more geared towards sales and not real technical in nature I was hoping for TechNet Pro to enhance my knowledge. Final answer seems to be from Microsoft MAPS that it is Standard and not Pro they want you more as a sales drone and not as a geeky tech person that can actually fix the product. Sorry, just seems a waste to pay more and get less (in my case).
