Hi Bill You might look at the Microsoft Empower Program:
http://members.microsoft.com/partner/isv/default.aspx?nav=rn You have to commit to develop some .NET stuff and say you did. You get then all of the .NET stuff and all of the 2003/XP stuff, support and so on for around 400-500 USD .... However you have to tell them almost everything up to your grandmothers maid name ...
