Title: Windows 7 only $30 for students
Post by: The Business on September 23, 2009, 01:40:51 PM: This is a pretty good deal. I'm a Mac user but I'm going to use this to finally run bootcamp or parallels or something to catch up on some PC gaming. I mean $30 bucks for a legit version? Good play, Microsoft.

I imagine that would be difficult for someone who does not attend a university.

My sister is at college, I'll make her buy it for me.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on September 23, 2009, 02:41:40 PM: Oh well, I still have a Vista disc lying around here somewhere, I'll just upgrade from that after I wipe off the 7 RC in a couple of weeks.

I guess I'll snag the 64 bit one at some point then.

unless there's some loophole to keep this cheap.

And yet, not difficult for someone who had graduated from a university. :spin

Mac users: Since this is a digital download, how will that work with bootcamp? Is it better to spend the extra $13 to get the actual disc?

Nah, I downloaded the RC iso and key during the beta and just burnt it to a DVD, worked fine that way.

And I'm alright with having the Home version, I don't really need the XP stuff.
