You have some choices, but I do highly recommend the universal subscription. The thing is, it comes at differing price tags.

All of the subscriptions have the same content, that is ALL of MS server products, including SQL 2000, Windows2000,
WindowsMe, All of Office2000 and supporting developer files and kits. All of Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio.NEt Beta 1.
Plus much more. Updates are mailed on a monthly basis.

The advertised retail [proce is over $2500. per year

For Microsoft Certified Solution Providers, it is just under $1100. per year.

If you join the Microsoft ISV (Independant Software Vendor) program, the subscription price drops to $599.

You takes your choice and then pays your money.
