I am excited to let you know that the new Microsoft Developer Network has just launched. While we recognize that many MVPs currently use the MSDN site as a source of deep technical content and support for development issues, we wanted to enhance the experience to add better support for the growing number of developers that are embracing Microsofts platform and technologies for the first time. There were a few goals we targeted with the Microsoft Developer Network experience: Simple: The new Microsoft Developer Network site is designed to help developers easily find information and get started with Microsoft more effortlessly. We heard from the community that finding the right information, often spread between different locations, could be challenging. The Microsoft Developer Network addresses that feedback by providing a single point of entry for all developers. Relevant: We want to meet developers where they are and talk with them on their terms. With the Microsoft Developer Network, an iOS developer, for example, can quickly understand the opportunity available from our platform and then easily navigate to the educational or technical content he needs to get started. Community Driven: Microsoft has an incredible developer ecosystem, and we wanted to provide even more opportunity for the community to engage with us and with each other. We designed the Microsoft Developer Network with that in mind, creating a Perspectives section with community blogs, an integrated social feed, and a Connect area that allows developers to tell their stories, get advice and connect with us directly.

"we wanted to provide even more opportunity for the community to engage with us"

And yet the subscriptions still begin at $699 and aren't equal to what TechNet, being killed off to allow MS to gouge us further, offers for less. Thanks a bunch for the opportunity, Microsoft, to give you even more of my money without getting anything of added value in return! (sarcasm, for those that are sarcasm impaired). I used to be a big fan. Now all I see is a grab for more money and various levels of disdain for end users.

Please help us again MS, and at a lower, more reasonable price to the little guy.
