Did the test earlier this year. There is a bit of a training session available to prepare you for the test. I didn't find the help until after I took the test the first time and missed one too many. Spent the hour with the training piece and aced the test the second time. Really not a bad way to qualify for the Action Pack. I went for the Action Pack because I need to support Vista and wanted to put Vista on my desk machine and by the time I got the Action Pack, Win 7RC was out, so I left XP on my desk machine and put W7 on the laptop.

    +1  Exactly. If you do consulting and charge money for it you are
    eligible. Nowadays you have to take a test first before you get
    the Action Pack, but I haven’t had to do that for my renewal yet
    so I can’t say how hard the test is…

    That's true.  But if you do any consulting or outside work at all,
    you are eligible.

        Im struggling to find an easy/ cheap way to get a SBS2008
        server for
        home use.

        If I go for TechNet Plus will that give me a full license of said
        product to use for personal use? Or is it all trialware?

        Gavin.
