Buy an MSDN Operation Systems Subscription for less ?

We bought our first subscription in an online shop which was a bit cheaper than the Microsoft shop due their mass-orders.

Does someone know an online shop which has decent prices ? I am looking only for the Operation Systems subscription (not renewal in that case).

Thanks

Also depends on which Operating systems you are using, to run off a few like DEL: HP: COMPAQ:

Ebay also sells operating systems.

Vmware for Linux

Hope this helps a little.

@ leew: WOW, did not even think about that ... Great stuff .. This is what I need !

Just wondering why an MSDN Operation Systems Subscription is so much more expensive ...

@ Merete : I think you did not quite understand what I was looking for. I am looking not a certain operation system. In our company we need to check every new and old operation system for compatibility, performance etc. The only way to do it is a test envifonment where we can play around with those a few month. The only way to do it is a sunscription since you get EVERY Microsoft Software to test (no time limit though) ...

Buying every singe operation system as full version is not an alternative if you don't know if you want to use it anyway ....
thanks Cassavatech  no I did quite understand but was willing to offer some suggestions, that way i learn a few new things by contributing.
Cheers Merete
Well, thanks anyway :)

But I guess even Technet is nothing for me I just had to find out .. it seems that you can only activate once ... so if you change your hardware you can trash they key for XP for example ....
What are you talking about - I've installed my technet copies on a few things without issue...
Never mind ..... stupid me ...
