As far as who’s role it is, I disagree – it should be a joint effort but if the folks making the tech don’t push, no one will follow; e.g., no one thought we needed CDs when they were announced – everyone was happy with LPs and tapes. There are issues/rough edges with Win 8, but for those that honestly sat down and used it (and are honest), the start screen itself is not one of them except for those where this is necessary: <image002.png> J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Spinelli, Robert J Sent: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 8:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] OT: Microsoft to shut down TechNet subscription ser vice Rod how did the dragging us kicking and screaming work out for Windows 8? Not so great, which is why they brought back Start Menu and Boot to desktop in Win 8.1. It shouldn’t be a company’s role (ex: MS) to pull their customers into something kicking and screaming, it’s supposed to be the other way around. Thank you.

Microsoft will drag us kicking and screaming into the future - count on it.

I can’t test on my hardware, in my data center, in my environment without MSDN or paying for software. Microsoft is going to push this Azure crap too hard and people are simply going to stop using MS software. People are heavily invested in the Microsoft skillset but other than the bodies running the systems there’s no other real dependency upon Microsoft. We could just as easily run on open source.

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.
