I'll jump in here just to note that the ASP is a "Network Partner" for
the Microsoft BizSpark program, so ASP members can use the ASP as
their sponsor for joining the BizSpark program.

Rich,
Thanks much for pointing this out - BizSpark is an incredible Microsoft
Partner Program to those that qualify - and for ASP members, or those
considering joining ASP - using ASP as your sponsor for joining BizSpark is
certainly a very nice additional benefit.
For some companies, however, they might not need a sponsor - at the end of
the BizSpark signup, there is an option to apply directly to Microsoft
without a sponsor.
"...a BizSpark contact at Microsoft - If your Startup doesn't need the kind
of services a Network Partner can provide, feel free to apply directly to
Microsoft."
Here is some additional summary information for economical Microsoft
Partner plans for developers to consider -
