Bizspark is great. But let me just give a generic reminder: Consider what you&#x27;ll do after the three years if you get heavily invested.<p>If you are a Microsoft shop either way then it doesn&#x27;t matter too much, but if you&#x27;re making technological choices now, consider how well that will scale without free licenses (e.g. ASP.net&#x2F;MVC, how much is Windows Serve licensing going to cost you? Visual Studio? Active Directory? MS SQL?).<p>This isn&#x27;t an anti-Microsoft post, just a post to remind everyone to think about the future of your small business with technological choices. Bizspark is designed for you to get yourself into the Microsoft&#x27;s way of doing things (which is good and bad, depending on your needs, etc).<p>I actually like Microsoft&#x27;s stack, but realise it is expensive, too expensive for many small businesses.
