There are several very generous giveaways or totally nominal prices: 1. For Developers, MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) provides access to pretty much all Microsoft software with a nominal fee 2. For Startups, Bizspark as noted in Sara's answer 3. For Education, there are several programs: Dreamspark, MSDN Academic, Shape the Future (Intel Classmate PC), Enterprise Enrollment for Schools and highly discounted pricing on all software for institutions vs normal pricing 4.
