"The Microsoft Action Pack Solution Provider download-only version costs £199 per annum plus VAT. If you would also like to receive physical media, the price is £273 per annum plus VAT. If you opt in for physical media in the middle of your annual subscription period, the additional cost will be assessed on a prorated basis.
Starting May 24, 2010, we will provide enhanced benefits to the Action Pack Solution Provider subscription and the download-only version will cost £259 per annum plus VAT. If you would also like to receive physical media, the new price will be £319 per annum plus VAT."
So wait until 24th when they release the enhanced Action Pack but at that price its a no-brainer given the huge amount of goodies you get.Last edited by Durbs; 14 May 2010, 07:39.

It swiftly turned out that the prospective client didn't actually know what their own web site said...

Well, tired of Frontpage now and want to move on to Expression web. If one is cheeky - you can get it for about £25 if you have child in any form of education. I'm putting down my 4y/o who starts school in September.

Some of these pages had been live for a year and a half. Examining the google analytics browser spread, it was clear that they were poking out the eyes of over half of their huge customer base!
I don't want to disrespect sharepoint designer though as I'm sure in the right hands, its a great tool. I think the person using the tool makes all the difference; WYSIWYG web-development just isn't there yet, at least for a normal user.
If a company is going to publish to the web, and they're worried about how their presence is received, then they should hire some expert knowledge.
