The Issue
Developers write "I'm an IT professional, and my customers come to me and ask for my recommendations.
How can I answer migration questions from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 if I can't set it up.
Do you expect me to waste 10-20 hours setting up a demo, just so that the customer can see what's going on?
What do I tell them when they ask where the real world data is - that I don't use Microsoft products for myself?
Do you really expect me to install a trial version every 30 to 180 days?
Do you really expect me to setup all of the SSL certificates and other stuff (at my expense) every time I have to "start over" on an evaluation system.
How do you expect me to be able to evaluate and recommend your software in a real world environment, when I can't even set them up for my own long-term use.
Your decision to scrap the TechNet program SUCKS OUT LOUD.
We, the tech people that support your product are being left out in the cold."
