Why Microsoft makes a mistake with the MSDN subscription changes. (5334 words) |
 | I think the real reason behind a lot of the negativity about the new MSDN model is fed by the fact that these developers, myself included, simply want to buy a package from Microsoft which allows them to write software, use sourcecontrol, have unit-tests, use fancy designers and do bugtracking/issue management. |
 | In the past year, Microsoft bombed us with their Team System propaganda and a lot of people were very pleased to see Microsoft made a fully integrated system which did everything: allowed you to architect webservices, test your application with fully integrated test tools, use bugtracking/issue management and much more. |
 | Getting agreement to buy MSDN is still hard but only had to be done once it is included 100% of what I needed to do my job. |
