Last year Microsoft debuted Dreamspark, which gives university students access to truckloads of development software at no charge. In April of this year, the program was extended to include high school students.

Now, they’re spinning off WebsiteSpark, a variant aimed at small businesses that want to make a splash in the web design and development world. If you employ fewer than 10 people and want in, here’s what you can get – without paying a penny up front:

• 3 Visual Studio 2008 licenses
• 1 Expression Studio 2 or 3 license
• 2 Expression Web 2 or 3 licenses
• 3 users licenses for Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008
• 4 processor licenses for Web Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 for self-hosting
