Default Multiple Copies Of 7: Cheapest Way?

Per VanguardLH:
MSDN subscriptions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/buy.aspx

An MSDN subscription will start you at around $700. You think that is a
good-value purchase for just 6 licenses of Windows 7 that alone would
cost $400? Like volume licenses, all installations from an MSDN license
are to be distributed within the same organization that has the MSDN
subscription.


Actually, I'm partial to the MSDN route because I like to fool
around and I'm assuming it includes a *lot* of stuff in terms of
development environments and servers as well as MS Office.

I've had MSDN a couple of times in the past - waaaaay back when
they shipped a pile of DVDs and then sent periodic update DVDs.

But I've lost touch with the terms/contents of today's versions -
although I realize that everything gets downloaded by the user.

Sounds like it's either retail copies or MSDN for my particular
situation. (all the PCs are in the family - albeit not under the
same roof)
