Windows 8 Milestone 2 already compiled

Yeah they didn't really show that off or not at all. More showing the new features of Windows 7 such as the Windows snap and so on! I know you could like get the full version of Home Premium for the £50* before it was announced from places like ebuyer or something.

* = Not 100% on price.

Hmmm, I can't remember what price ebuyer put on it :/ I didn't pay much attention to the price of it before it was released. All I remember is that Tesco were strangely cheaper than ebuyer, as were Play.com after release. Amazon.co.uk were selling it for £90 and so were many other places. This was quite a while ago, before they suddenly put the price up (about 6 months or so ago?) I got it from Software4Students or the official Microsoft one, so it was about £30 in the end

Forgot about S4S. Why don't they sell 7 Home Premium? I'd imagine that is what most people want.

I think I remember reading that Pro is good for students who want to connect their computers up to their college accounts, or something like that. There's a setting buried somewhere that lets them do something work related

The Virtual XP might be another student related feature that they focus towards students too. I guess they want to go for a happy medium between home use and extreme use (7 Ultimate), so Pro seems the best option.

Windows 7 Pro is pretty much Home Premium but includes more business-based tools, like being able to connect to a Windows domain network (where user accounts are stored on servers) which a lot of educational institutions use.

Is just a .sch.uk required, or is some form of ID needed as well?

I believe it can be just an email if it's valid.
