Microsoft has recently came out with a new project called bizspark. It looks like a pretty good way to get some free software from Microsoft if your really going to make a business out of making your game. I was wondering if anyone around here has signed up for the program. It looks like a pretty good opportunity if your going to be using Microsoft technology anyway. http://www.microsoftstartupzone.com/BizSpark/Pages/At_a_Glance.aspx

This has come up before --- for those interested in the program be sure to read the terms and conditions VERY carefully. If you break the conditions it could cost you quite a bit.

Thanks Frob, I had looked around but didn't see anything on it. But sure enough there is an old thread on it. Thanks for point us the right way.
