Microsoft launched WebsiteSpark which basically is a sort of MSDN licence for developers but targeted only towards web development. What you get is:
- 3 licenses of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition
- 1 license of Expression Studio 3 (which includes Expression Blend, Sketchflow, and Web)
- 2 licenses of Expression Web 3
- 4 processor licenses of Windows Web Server 2008 R2
- 4 processor licenses of SQL Server 2008 Web Edition
- DotNetPanel control panel (enabling easy remote/hosted management of your servers)
And all this for free for 3 years. There are some limits still:
- Your company has to have less than 10 employees
- Your company must develop web applications for other clients
- You have to pay 100USD the moment you exit the program (either at the end of the 3 years or sooner)
There are some other things to be known but you can read it here.
