I'm not the first to break the news, but Windows Vista was posted on the TechNet subscriber site last Thursday - a day sooner than originally planned.

This is a good time to give out a reminder about the value of TechNet, it's the must-have toolkit for IT professionals, giving you

• Access to full version evaluation software, Betas, product keys and Service packs & security updates and TechNet library.
• 2 free professional technical support incidents (by phone)
• TechNet Managed Newsgroup support with answers by next business day
• e-learning, product documentation and white papers .. And more!

There are two options.

• TechNet Plus Direct: Online offering, no need for CD/DVD, better price! 370€
• TechNet Plus Single User: same as Direct offering plus the media shipment. 530€

Sorry to only have a price in Euros ...
