Microsoft bulks up MSDN subscriptions with Azure services
Do you subscribe to Microsoft Developer Network? Then perhaps you received the same email as I got late yesterday.
"Effective immediately: Windows Azure benefits have been granted to Visual Studio 2010 Professional with MSDN subscribers. Windows Azure benefits have been expanded for Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with MSDN and Visual Studio 2010 Premium with MSDN subscribers."
Happy MIX11 from Microsoft.
Pro subscribers get 750 hours of compute time, 20GB of storage and 250,000 storage transfers for Azure services. BizSpark subscribers also receive increased Azure services (see chart above). For more details click here. The benefits upgrade is effective April 12, 2011.
Are you a MSDN subscriber? Will these changes benefit you -- and if so, how? Please answer in comments.
