Remember that MSDN and all of MS's development tools are are loss leader, and 
MS make no money directly from them (They lose quite a lot).  Where they do 
make the money is that the more developers using MS tools, the more Windows 
products are produced, so the more Windows and 'other MS tools' licenses they 
sell. 

The price of MSDN cannot be directly be compared to JBoss Subscription prices
