This 3 year "absurd generosity" is nothing more than a classic bait and switch Marketing strategy

As someone who is currently enjoying the benefits of BizSpark, you're completely wrong.

Your sense of entitlement is simply amazing. I write software, and I charge for it. I would never expect a package as complex and high quality as Visual Studio to be free. The fact that I can use it for free for three years is fantastic, and I'm grateful for it.
