Read about this today that Microsoft will offer free software licenses and support/guidance to startups opting to use their technology platform. The catch is that the startup needs to be invited into the program so it’s not just any aspiring Internet company.
You can read more here and on the official page.
Frankly I don’t know how it will be received. Startups have so many open source alternatives to choose from. I wouldn’t bother with Microsoft technologies myself, either. But with that said, this is a good move by Microsoft, even if a little too late. I would’ve done this a long time ago… Well, better late than never…
