Technical Writer

I’m having more fun with my TechNet subscription than I expected to.

It’s a 12-month subscription to pretty much every program Microsoft.  I purchased it because our work has decided not to upgrade to SharePoint 2007, nor to Office 2007, and I need to keep up-to-date with the technology. I am planning on moving on some time (hopefully this year).

I haven’t got around to installing SharePoint yet.  So far I have only installed the standard Office programs but it has been good to learn about each of the new versions. 

I know I could have run the trial version versions, but these are full versions and I don’t have to worry about time limits.  I can also test out various programs that I wouldn’t otherwise touch, like Groove.  (I still haven’t figured out where Groove fits in.  I mean, isn’t it doing similar things to SharePoint, only off-line?)

It’s not cheap, but it’s value for money if you intend to use the full suite.
