Oh well, it seems that the Harris price is on the low end for SAO MSDN Premium with VS2010, so I've begrudgingly paid for the upgrade so I can get the Office and Expression suites and kits on top of the SDKs, DBs and OSs (I'm begrudged because for the same price I can get a week long holiday on

Maybe the local MS Vendor could come up with a special on MSDN subscriptions and offer an extended service from FIJI... On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 12:04 PM, Les Hughes l...@datarev.com.au wrote: Greg Keogh wrote: Oh well, it seems that the Harris price is on the low end for SAO MSDN Premium

Interesting, My professional license has just expired this month which means it was only about 12 months ago I got the Premium license. It didn't specify same country on the logo. Yup, checked the dispatch date. 3/3/2010. I guess it depends on who the sales person is and how much discount they
