If you reread my response, it was to clarify the support options, not
availability.

BTW, MSDN and TechNet also come in Academic SKUs so not everything is
Enterprise/Volume. Heck, if I had the money and the need, I could swing an
individual sub myself and I am far from an Enterprise/Volume/Partner.

I think you are picking the wrong nit here - support is entirely different
from licensing.
