Purely speculatively... Richie was probably... - a happier person - had a better family life - didn't live in a dumpster - he lived 14 years longer. - didn't care for glory, and just had fun inventing things Not a bad life for him I'd guess. On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 5:09 PM, Scott Barnes

MSDN subs

2013-09-25 Thread Ken Schaefer
Where do people source these today? From memory, MSDN subs qualified for Open Licensing, so you could buy them with SA to get a 2 year deal all up - is this still the case? Looking at the Premium level at this stage. Cheers Ken

We usually use a corporate signing tool that keeps an audit trail of what's been signed. That's for released code, however for internal builds we've used signtool.exe and a test certificate. When I tried this today, I found it wasn't working, with this SignTool Error: An error occurred while att

It makes sense people are not buying RT devices. Why get a device that looks and acts like Windows but isn't quite windows. Windows Pro on a tablet makes much more sense.

I did actually find a cheap price on a US site and sent the link to Microway and they matched it (plus GST). It was in the ball park of what you paid for yours. I'd have to go find the exact price, but it was a renewal which I think is cheaper than initial purchase. It was more than $3000 but less

Looks right. They have gone up a bit. The prices haven't changed for me for two renewals. Current one is due to expire next year. I went and looked at my last two renewals and they were May 2011: $3554.55 exc GST ($3910 inc GST) (quoted and paid via email from Microway) Jan 2012: $3554.55 exc GST
