Windows 7 Home Premium US$30 - for U.S. college students

[huskylord]

...but I'm thinking there must be a way for those with creative minds to take part in this. Here is where I got the info

http://gizmodo.com/5361767/students-...premium-for-30

"The deal page isn't live yet, but this one's Twitter official: Windows 7 will be just $30 for US college students. Full details are expected any minute, but for now, there's just a placeholder. UPDATED: It's up.

The conditions of the deal, which just went live, are as simple as can be: If you're an active student at an American university, and you have a working email address from said university, you're entitled to the $30 price for Windows 7 Home Premium, which is normally $120. Best of all, the offer's good until January 3rd, so you've got plenty of time to bag a license. [Microsoft]"

Well an update (sort of) from a number of websites mentioning this dead

"Update: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Korea and Mexico will also have similar offers but exact pricing varies by market. Details will follow."


So once again, this is more of a "heads up" post, and I'm sure many RFDers here will find creative/outside the box approaches to this opportunity.

Same deal in the UK (but @ £30). Perhaps a Canadian link will show up soon.

No surprise. I think students can get Vista Ultimate for $64, so it's logical that they exend the deal to Windows 7. Good pricing though. If it ends up being around $35CAD, that's a lot better then the current deal.

Time to cancel that Amazon.ca pre-order.

Damnit Keyin College doesn't give student email addresses, what craphole it is anyway. Guess I won't be able to get in on this when it comes to Canada .

If you know someone in the US just have them buy it for you and then paypal them. That's what I'd like to do, for 30 bucks, you can't go wrong. You're entitled to all updates right? like all the new service packs when they come out if you have this one?

I'd say, its an a real copy.


If anyone finds an american university student I'd get into a group buy with them.

why nobody talking about getting 10 copies for $32us

sorry if I missed this but are they giving us just a download link or a full retail copy that will be shipped? If so I think its a hot deal.
