Microsoft BizSpark

Got a LinkedIn invitation to join Microsoft BizSpark, so I started the sign-up process. Looks like an interesting deal: get access to developer tools and resources for free. I'm interested for two reasons.

1. I'm interested in extending the capabilities of the Notes client by scripting into the Microsoft Office Suite. (On the same note I'm also interested in extending the capabilities of Notes by scripting into Lotus Symphony and OpenOffice.)
2. As a newly minted small business owner, I'm interested in what big corporations are offering little guys like me. I'll keep an eye on things and perhaps let IBM know what's going on inside BizSpark.

I shall keep you all posted when I find out more.
