I guess I should have been more precise in my original message. A colleague
in our CFUG told me about the MSDN Business Connection program. After
joining that, they offer members a special Universal Sub annual price of
$599. But this isn't well publicized at the MSDN Business Connections site
until you join and log in.
Here's the message my friend sent to me:
