Yeah, got it earlier today - quite bummed as I use the heck out of mine!

It was good while it lasted.

Gonna renew my subscription and ride out my last year. This really sucks!

Looks like we have two threads (here is the other: http://forums.servethehome.com/f9/microsoft-tech-net-going-away-2072.html ) but yea. We use this a lot at STH for testing.

Abused to death! thank god I have 5 msdn still. I think i've used like a dozen technet licenses, it's easier to install the VLK unlicensed and let it bitch than use a technet license for most short haul POC's.

Random tidbit: if you renewed to get win 8.1, your win8 key already works

Other than that they aren't adding a damn thing and you can download anything you claimed keys for already so that last year was for suckers to give them money for nothing.

Took me all of 10 minutes to throw up a web site and domain that got accepted into Bizspark.
