It appears Microsoft has totally disrespected the individual SharePoint developer by not making a public Release Candidate available for SharePoint 2010 to MSDN subscribers. Instead, I see that Microsoft has announced they are releasing SharePoint 2010 to manufacturing on April 27, May 1 or May 12 (none of which mention MSDN subscriber availability, a glaring omission). I would like to go on record as saying it’s a bad move on Microsoft’s part to only provide the Release Candidate to country club, blue-blood elites who can afford the huge price tag to be a part of those groups. The rest of us individual SharePoint developers “can eat cake” (which was not the sweet stuff you think it is – go read your history books if you don’t believe me) as far as Microsoft is concerned.
