Is anyone here a part of this? I just got my invite today, about a month after asking to join, and am just wondering how long it takes for them to activate your Technet account.

I'm not a part of it, but I take it this was the program that the free technet fiasco sub link was intended for?

No, that was actually a different program. This one is intended for IT Professionals who want to be early adopters. It comes with a free 1 year Technet subscription.

Would I be able to use this with a really small business? (under ten employees) On a tight budget? If I could get my boss to upgrade to seven, it would probably make my life easier. At least she is not using XP.

How can you sign up for this program anyway?

Yeah, the company that I am IT guy for only has like 7 paid staff, including me. I think this is mainly marketed at small businesses and non-profits, but don't quote me on that.

As for how to sign up, all I did was send an email to itpromfb at microsoft saying that I was interested, they sent me a survey to fill out, and then today, after about a month, I got an email saying that I would get an invite soon. A couple hours later, I had my invite.

Now I'm just waiting for my Technet account to get activated, which I guess takes 2-3 weeks.
