It's all good that Vista is on MSDN and all. but for many, that will do no
good. No biggie though. I am just not willing to drop $499 to download the
RTM. I will just wait and spend the $399 on the final release..
 
I second that! I'll wait too. RC2 v5744 is working just fine for me.
There's no need for me to be greedy.

The $499 MSDN, only allows development, not production use, you can't use
MSDN products for home PC's or server for example... Don't think it's a
cheap way to get MS software, it's not, it's restricted in what you can
use it for.. Wouldn't want people buying a MSDN subscription, and then
finding out the catches...
 
Technet Direct is cheaper then MSDN but the software is only allowed to be
used for evaluation and support.......

$500 ain't cheap.
 
For $499 you can only RENEW the MSDN operating systems. New is $699 and
what software exactly do you think is worth it?
