Thats right, Microsoft have only released Windows 7 from the 1st October onwards, obviously you'll be able to preorder as retail release is on the 22nd October. Its $30 in the US, and £30 here, but heres the catch:
YOU HAVE TO BE A STUDENT.
You must have an email which is linked to a College or University, an .edu, .ac.uk or any other university emails, although I think these are the main ones. For the announcement click on this link. You can buy either the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional versions, worth at least £200 on retail.
You also have to be running a genuine version of Windows Vista or XP... Which aint that bad. The offer ends on January 3rd 2010.
The american website for the offer can be seen here.
That seriously is not a bad offer for anybody, I dunno if they'll take exception to people with .sch.uk emails, but it seems the ac.uk would be accepted. I won't claim on this just because I get professional for free, but for those who dont have MSDNAA at their Uni/College, that's pretty epic of a saving.

Thats good, I paid for vista hp so I get 7 hp. Good for students though, encouraging them to buy.

Will probs be taking advantage of this. It's not an upgrade disk is it?

According to another website:
So sounds like its an upgrade version only. It's a shame I don't have a college email address :/Microsoft today announced students would be able to purchase upgrade versions of Windows 7 for a significantly reduced price until January 3, 2010 at 12:00am CST.

What sort of email do you have?

College haven't provided me with any email address what so ever at the moment. Although I don't think they will. Originally Posted by Pyroka
