Editor's Notes
- BizsparkThe Microsoft BizSpark program is based on the belief that if Microsoft helps Startups succeed, we will help build a mutually beneficial and valued long-term relationship, and together build a more vibrant global software economy. Microsoft BizSpark helps Startups by providing Microsoft software inexpensively, when they most need it and can least afford it, and by supporting a global network of support organizations − Startup incubators, investors, advisors, government agencies − that are equally involved and invested in software-fueledinnovation and entrepreneurship. Microsoft is committed to working with these organizations as part of the Microsoft BizSpark Network to ensure that we are supporting the broadest possible Startup audience, in a way that complements the value those network organizations already provide. http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/http://blogs.msdn.com/ceibner/archive/2009/07/30/so-what-is-bizspark-can-i-get-it.aspxEmpower Pack For ISVsMicrosoft Empower for ISVs is a two-year initiative that gives independent software vendors access to vital software development tools.
