I signed up and cancelled my order with digital river

How did you go about canceling from digital river?

UK students can also get it for £30 if they have an ac.uk email address starting from today. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/...r/default.aspx

Think I will buy one today

did anyone else try this? im really tempted to.

i just called and talked to a rep and he said its true, the full version can be bought for $30 as long as you have a valid .edu email address. going to do this as soon as my credit card is cleared of current charges.

thanks a bunch OP, i was originally going to get the upgrade version, but now will definitely get the full.

Even with the downloaded version, why would you have to store it on a computer?

To my understanding, the download is only stored for a certain time frame. With digital river it is stored online for 30 days. Once downloaded I would have to burn a copy and keep that handy. Otherwise I would store it on an external.

Looking back I guess it would be ok to only have available as download but there is something about having a microsoft issued hardcopy that gives me a little more sense of security. I am a create of habit.

It only cost me an extra 8 bucks with shipping and tax.

Jacen do you know how many copies they will let you purchase through this offer? Because I know the online offer only let you buy one copy.

the digital download will be an iso right? and is there any official sizes of the iso's for the different editions of the full version.
