Yeah for MSN, but not for an actual email address that functions... you will need the domain for that. :(Quote:

That's a good deal!
If only I was a student! :'( lol
Well, technically I am, and I have my own school e-mail address. I'm in year 10 lol. :D
Syko, you're a student anyway..
I have my own .ac.uk e-mail address, but had to pay £80 for W7, wasn't told why though.
But he's a school student -- from my reading, it applies to further and higher education only.Quote:

oh we don't have a .ac.uk or any education emails because 'we all use hotmail and other services'
Don't think the principal notices the benefits of having education emails (i.e. this)
My mate shown me this offer the otherday. I am going to get this, but I have a question, do we get a disk? If we have to download this... my internet will die! My download speed sucks.. :(
You get a disk sent to you, Jarkie.
In the past Microsoft have given the option to have a disk posted to you. There maybe a choice here as well :) I'm not techie but I assume an OS might be a bit large for a lot of people to download :PQuote:

Yay! :D My college are setting up emails and I'm gonna be testing them, so I'll be able to get this. Woo!
Update from mine. We're now getting emails provided we use them for 'educational reasons' .... durrQuote:

Surprisingly I didn't take that course:P.
Which bit you saying "What" to? MSDNAA is that MSDN Academic Alliance which can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/academic/default.aspx and due to whatever course he picked in college he has access to it.Quote:

I have an ac.uk email from manchester so I could get the £30 thing, but I don't think I could get the MSDNAA access.
Also, we're limited to 10Mbps download and 2Mbps upload, so not massively fast download speeds. However, the latency is epically low so web browsing feels really fast.
GOD I WISH?! I get a max of 2Mbps download and 2MBps upload. its sooo sloooow
Me too! :(Quote:

We get to download it on the 22nd October :P
Aww that's not bad then really.
To bad it's upgrade version, I'll somehow have to dual boot my Windows XP legit key... twice. :S lmao.
Since I have no email, I have uploaded a scan/copy of my Student ID. Hopefully they will accept it! Will find out in 1-2 weeks. :]
Just ordered Windows 7 Pro! :)
£30 for the Windows 7 pro and £9 for the CD! :D
-facepalm- Didn't realise you could get Pro for the same price, oh well, the only thing I would use is the XP mode which I can get with Virtual box anyway.
Is it purchased on a one license per computer basis, or can it be installed on 3 (which I think is the max they usually allow?) That's what I'm assuming at least. If not, I'd just buy one of each - Pro for this computer and Home Prem. for whoever and whatever.
Just got the email through on my school email :)
W7 keys only work on one computer now, to stop piracy. You can't reinstall anymore.Quote:
