Is there a way to get a technet subscription than paying 500+ ? Thats a bit high...

yah... get a career in the IT industry... company pays for mine ;)

Seriously though... when you consider the amount of toys you get to test and play with... $500 is well worth it... i think its also cheaper [$350?] if you get technet direct - no DVD shipments. We have technet PLUS but i never even open the DVD's when they come in.

Have you paid MSDN

Whos Tripod? I turned my volume down...

You don't need to pay for it, as I can't even afford it. You need to be emplyed by a buisness that is of relations with Microsoft so that you can receive or earn MSDN, or Technet for free as long as you work there.

Thanks for the information of the Windows.com, and 2.5 Million is okay although their servers will be busy for awhile.

Wait, let's see if Windows 7 Beta will break a record, shall we? :)

I haven't seen it. Will check when I get to work tomorrow since we have a TechNET subscription.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By thartist · Posted

      How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.

      Ok.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud. Logitech MX Creative Console Graphite - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon Logitech MX Creative Console Pale Gray - $159.99 | 20% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
