Oh realy? Well, sounds interesting to me M8's. Can someone who has some first hand experience with this please post some more detailed info like what one is the best route to go through (MSDN or Tech-Net), cost (if it costs anything), and link to sign-up, etc. I already have beta 2416 and found it interesting to check out but wouldn't mind checking out the rest. Final version? Heh, must cost alot to sign-up then.... But i would pay to play

For MSDN check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/prodinfo/pricing.asp

I have the Universal account, it was well worth it

HA! I don't like their prices I'd rather just play around and have fun with the beta i already have and wait for the tuned-up final version to hit the shelves

lets see, $2499 USD or logging onto a private w4r3z server and getting it for free.... well bob, i believe i'll go with option 2 thankyou

it's a hell of a lot better getting it from MSDN, trust me. w4r3z is like my last resort for **** now a days. I rather be on the safe side, they always stealing cuz you can't afford

Quote from Ethin Winer in regards to software piracy:
 
Personally, I believe the real problem is that much software is grossly overpriced. People want to do the right thing and will gladly pay for a program that meets their needs if they can afford it. When I first saw the DINR noise reduction plug-in on a friend's ProTools rig, I thought it would be great for cleaning up my old LPs and 45s. But I don't restore recordings for a living, and even $400 for DART was more than I could justify. When I saw a magazine review of DCart selling for $59, I called and ordered it on the spot.
 
many software companies fail to understand the very market they serve, and should seek a better balance between what they charge and how many copies they hope to sell. It is clear to me that, as computers and music hardware become cheaper by the week, the real growth is happening at the low end. I would much prefer to sell 70,000 copies of a program for $99 than 1,000 copies for $799, but it seems many companies are unable to understand this basic marketing concept. Moreover, the more a company charges for a product, the more irrational and protective they become. I know from my own success as a software company president that the key to making a lot of money is to sell a great product for a great price, and without alienating the very customers you depend on.

 
Does it make sense? Can anyone relate? I sure can

I agree with you. Like look at the price of pro tools... there's no way a piece of software is worth more than $5,000.
