TechNet Plus Direct special offer for Australian customers

An extra special offer for readers of my blog....

Subscribe to a new TechNet Plus Direct subscription at https://www.microsoft.com.au/technetplus with the special subscription offer code of TLNW08 (valid only in Australia as far as I know) and receive a 40% discount off the marked price. Yes you heard it here first. Going once!...going twice! :) Its not $1200 like it used to be - the RRP is $512. And its 40% off that....so thats around $307??

What do you get?
