Yes James, pay MS 3-4K for a MSDN subscription and you can download just
about anything you'd like!

James;
There are two ways of getting Windows Vista Beta at this time:
1.Apply and be accepted as a Beta tester:
https://beta.microsoft.com/sign-in/ [...] e%2Easp%3F
2. Subscribe to MSDN Operating Systems or above:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/subscribers/

There is no public trial of Vista available at this time.

Poor choice of words on my part.
In this case "great deal" means "large number".

Whether the price is a "great deal" depends on the specific needs of the
purchaser.
Considering the variety of operating systems provide on CD/DVD, adding all
the others available through download, # of licenses per OS and that use is
perpetual.
This is cheaper than most any 4 on the list.
For the most part, the purchaser has 10 licenses each in perpetuity.
You can count how many installations a developer can have if you want, but
it can easily be over a few hundred concurrent installations, which is
slightly more than 4.

I bet they did not include the driver kit for Vista which comes separately as a download. Not much good without it. Also if anybody noticed that Vista is now a server not a home OS. Just read the heading ..
And on the last line the name change.

Vista is a "client OS."

Longhorn Server has yet to get renamed.

"More information on *Windows* *Longhorn* *Server* will be available in
the coming months. For more information on *Longhorn* *Client*, now
known as *Microsoft* *Windows* *Vista*, please visit the Microsoft
Windows Vista site." (emphasis is mine) -
