Microsoft TechNet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Microsoft Technet is a Microsoft program and resource for technical information, news, and events for IT professionals. Along with a website, they also produce a monthly subscription magazine titled "TechNet Magazine".

TechNet was originally available only to customers with paid subscriptions; however, it has been expanded to include public information, webcasts, local events, and free newsletters. They have also started an open source blog on April 6, 2006 called Port 25 to publicly explore that business model and provide discussion forums. [1]

As of July 18, 2006, the Sysinternals tools were merged into TechNet.
