Problem is... when your TechNet subscription runs out, if you don't renew it, don't you have to surrender your rights to use that copy of Windows? If so, then what exactly does TechNet solve, except changing your payment from a one-time fee for the license to a subscription that needs to be renewed every year in order to be allowed to keep using the operating system?

That's when a technet subscription comes in handy. I usually wipe and install Windows Pro/Ultimate instead of whatever OEM version they give you.
