Also ALL flavors of Vista are available - including Home version.

With respect to the MAK key issue we may be arguing semantics. "MAK" has a
very specific meaning, and MAK product IDs are usable only with VLA media.
MSDN and Technet users, however, do get retail keys for most of the covered
products that act like MAK but with the retail product bits, although MS
seems to be moving to single-use keys, with the option (see below) of
obtaining additional keys when needed.

As for what's in the Technet subscription, perhaps you and I have different
contracts. Going to the public Technet page

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb892756.aspx

where it compares Technet Plus Direct and Technet Plus Single-User, both
have an entry for Vista saying "Ultimate/Enterprise/Business" (and saying
nothing about Home or Home Premium), and when I go to the downloads page for
my VLA subscription no keys are offered for Home or Home Premium. A VLA key
is offered for Enterprise (not surprising, since it's offered only as VLA
bits), but for Business only retail keys are offered -- although with an
option to obtain additional keys as needed.

Having said that...I've got a suspicion that MS has changed the rules
(again) without bothering to tell the users (again) so both of could be
right.
