To technet or not to technet?

[scooby]

OK, so what i would use or want:

Windows SBS server 2008 or 2011 (although not sure just how much, as Mac is main laptop, "test" sharepoint server and could manage email for me.)
Windows 7 (premium or Ultimate)
MS Office (Full)
MS Project
MS Visio
Some CRM software

Is technet or the above worth it or should i stick with google drive etc? How easy is Technet to get, do you need to do a test (i think you did at one time...)?

Sign up, pay the fee, you're in. Seriously, thats all there is to it.

The only thing t be aware of is that it is an annual subscription, but if your first year gets you more than a couple of hundred quids worth of software then your already ahead of the game, plus it's a business expense so you get the tax relief on the cost as well.
