If you are currently a student you maybe eligible to purchase any version of Windows 7 through your school's computer shop/bookstore for $18. Some students are also eligible for MSDNAA (i.e. free copy) access check with your IT department.
Click here to see if your school is enrolled in MSDNAA [microsoft.com]
There are THREE ways to obtain this software.....
------1) Obtain the software through this Digital River Promotion for $30 which gets you a DOWNLOADABLE version (+$13 for mailed DVD which is currently on Back Order) note: mailed DVD is a complete waste of money if you know how to burn an iso image to a DVD.
or
---------2) Call Microsoft's Store directly at 1.877.696.7786 option 2, then 2 which gets you a mailed Full version DVD for $29.99 + Shipping (Free Shipping Promotion Currently!) + local tax. Sometimes they tell you to go to http://www.win741.com to order but if you are persistent enough, the full version IS available. note: full or upgrade version makes no difference, both can be used for a clean install
---------3) Check out your Campus Store. At least at UCLA they sell the DVD upgrade for $29.99 +Tax to students (short form filled out - ID required). Don't have to wait to pick up and free DVD. (Was able to buy online copy and store copy)
AS OF 12/24/09 WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL FULL VERSION IS NOW AVAILABLE..
Update 1/18/10:
To those that have had trouble installing the update version on a new or formatted hard drive try to install without the product key (leave it blank) and uncheck automatically activate. This will allow you to install in the 30 day trial mode. Once it's installed and online enter your product key to activate. This worked for me installing 64bit on a blank hard drive. For more options see: http://www.mydigitallife.info/200...ard-drive/
Update 12/13/09:
You MUST be a student to take advantage of this offer. This is proved by means of a valid .edu email address. There are certain schools that do not have a .edu domain, but have registered properly with digital river and Microsoft. The details of this is covered on the deal's website. You may also call Microsoft at the above number if you're not sure about your school's email.
Credit to msuhcpcrew - Some people are getting mixed results calling in and ordering from Microsoft in regards to getting a full or upgrade version. The full version DVD is available so be persistent or call back and get a rep who knows what they are talking about. The CR will ask you if you have a .edu email address and then take down you billing and shipping address. Your edu email and addresses do not need to be related in anyway. Shipping options are as follows : $5 3-7 days, $10 2nd day, $16 next day. Confirmation and tracking email will be sent to the edu email address.
The following is taken from Digital River's FAQ page:

Quote : Are these products Academic license(s)/version(s)?No, these are retail versions, which provide all the benefits you would receive if you bought it at the store. |
ALSO, this is a legitimate site! Its the same company who handles the ultimate steal!

Oh well, the price is still well below what one would have to pay retail or even for a "Fry's system builder? version.

As regards RUsum1, I thought he had ordered a backup disk from Digital River but since he states above that he had made an order over the phone, it must have been with the MS store and had been ordering the full retail pack they were offering for the Pro version. That package does in fact contain both 32 and 64 bit disks in the same box (package); so when he called back to say he had wanted the 64-bit version of the OS, they told him it had both. Any confusion stems from the fact that if one did a DL, one was told to DL either the 32-bit or the 64-bit install even though the product key would be good for either. And one could order and have sent a backup disk for $13 extra during the ordering checkout. What I don't know is if one would get the 2 disk set or not. Anyway, say goodnight.

[QUOTE=russw;26514215]Good points; however, it is generally held that ambiguous provisions or terms in a contract are to be resolved in favor of the non-drafting party and this resolution would better support your argument.
OK, thanks ... I guess I said the same thing only differently. If an ambiguity can be read/decided in a manner most fovorable to any party, then it favors none over any other. Thus a non-drafting party can read and apply an ambiguity to his/her advantage, whether or not the drafting party reads it differently. I find this interesting because I would assume there'd be no difference between the effect on drafting and non-drafting parties (if any of the latter), as it is assumed that all parties have read and agreed to all parts of a contract. (Thus, what is the difference who drafted it ... and usually both/all parties have taken part in drafting it anyway? I guess in consumer issues your point might make some difference, as consumer contracts are usually drafted by the supplier.) I also wonder why anyone would be "anxious" to cut off discussion on a thread if he/she is simply not interested in the current line of thought, as long as the material is in some fashion related to the thread content. That's my definition of someone who needs something else to think about, or do. The "sale" is over, but are we really inconveniencing anyone by discussing pertinent "after the sale" matters? |
