I think it's all messed up, just as usual.

I have a business entity registered, and $7/mo sounded like a good price, so I went to look up for a form where I can sign up, set up a subscription, pay the invoice and get a product key.

The CSP program seems to be this: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-solution-provider but it seems that they don't directly sell it but do so through some resellers (and the whole page is dedicated to those).

I found this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsforbusiness/buy that mentions Windows 10 Enterprise E3 and E5 ("coming Oct 2016" says something about how the page's up to date) but after clicking "find a license solution provider" I'm basically lost. Filters helped a little, but everyone there still wants to sell me all sorts of most enterprise cloud solutions (Azure stuff, SharePoint, telephony, whatever), but not those $7/mo licenses. (Or maybe I've just looked at all the wrong partners, I don't know). And of course they're still all-enterprise "call our sales for any details".

No surprise probably no one uses that for personal desktop.
