So I currently have an VS Pro + MSDN subscription. I need MSDN for running Windows Server VMs (I dev on a Windows Server 2008 VM currently). Is there any cheaper version that gives me Windows licenses for my dev systems now that I don't need to pay for VS Pro?

Microsoft run a few programs - Action Pack, DreamSpark, BizSpark. If you qualify then you get a lot of software for (fairly) little money.

Partner Action Pack + Visual Studio Pro without MSDN is your best bet.

(or visual studio community if you qualify)
