So... they are offering to accelerate your startup by means of giving you discounts on their software. In that case, Linux-based startups must be traveling at the speed of light...

Why am I not excited about trying their program? It looks to me like you have to work with MS software to join.

I laughed hard as soon as I read that "benefit".

Nobody is mentioning the free Zune startup founders will receive. That alone is worth like 25 bucks.

yeah if there's anything MS has proven over the years is that they should not be trusted... history is usually a good predictor of the future...

Yeah, I see how much Microsoft gets it.

What is it with links? What do I keep doing wrong here? How do you tell it to A HREF?

maybe the missing '/' after http: ?
