If you are building a software startup, you should consider this program by Microsoft.
In the article, Markus Frind, who has built a $10MM a year online business on Microsoft products, heavily endorses the program,
as does Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft.
Mr. Frind also happens to be an investor in our company, BlitzLocal.com.

Wow, Great find, Dennis! Maybe this will dispell the evil image of Micosoft that seems to loom over the recent Vista vs. Mac wars, but i'll keep that drama away from here. It gives people alot of incentive to use Windows-based technologies to power their business apps.

Yes the action pack subscription microsoft offers is not so bad either from what I hear.
