Sean has posted about the new pricing of MSDN Universal in NZ.  A 48% price drop is pretty bloody fantastic! 

If you are in the unfortunate position of having to pay for this yourself - or you have to convince a penny pinching boss - then now is the best time ever to get MSDN.  I'd like to know the full retail value of all the software you get in MSDN (plus the free support!) - I'm guessing it's pushing $50k but it could be a lot more.  ~$3500 is a complete steal!
