I am amazed that it took this long for people to realize what a scam Microsoft's Corporate licensing plans were. Apparently some company still have had a little trust left for MS. Microsoft seems to be doing all it can to prevent such mistakes from happening again.
Microsoft Office and MSDN benefit from yearly subscription plans but the rest of their software is probably better left to traditional purchasing methods, i.e. those that actually tell you what you are getting (and IF you are getting anything at all, in this case) for the money.
Scam, gamble, tomato, tomato. The house always wins.
