Not to mention, the msdn sub-level required to get the other server products 
(exchange....) is $6,00 the first year and $2,600 renewal.

Guess they want IT Pro's to pirate software so they can test it....

Depending on the workload, it has taken me longer than 180 days from initial 
install to fully lab'd out solution ready to implement.

I guess it will help you practice practice practice the migration from 180 day 
to 180 day trial versions! :)

Rod, I do a lot of my testing on my laptop.  I have a nice HyperV lab with my 
whole SCCM infrastructure on it for testing (32GB of Ram, 500GB SSD Drive).  I 
used to fly around a lot and would do testing on the plane for example.  How do 
you do that when I need to spin up a Windows Azure VM to host my whole 
infrastructure with no access to Azure since I'm 30k feet in the air ? :)

Below is what I have running on my laptop

CAS
Remote SQL (CAS)
Primary (XYZ)
Remote SQL (XYZ)
Remote MP_SUP (XYZ)
Remote DP (XYZ)
Primary (123) - SQL, MP, SUP, DP all on same box
Remote MP_SUP (XYZ)  - Untrusted Forest

How do I get that with any of the offerings MS has now?

I don't really need to worry about it too much now since I can get all of this 
from corporate licenses, but what about the consultants out there who can't get 
this from their company?  I think it's a bad move on MS part to alienate all 
the consultants out there who used Technet just for what I described above.

Thank you.

Not really, when you think about it.  TechNet was used more for downloading 
software than any of the other benefits.  You can spin-up a Windows Azure VM 
and test the same software now.  No reason to have it on-premise for testing.  
Plus, the other options they are offering as replacements are all free.

They are keeping MSDN, though (for a while), so you can subscribe to that if 
you want to download bits.

This is pretty terrible, TechNet yearly subscription was great.
