Student Offer for Windows 7

[z3r010]

Based on reader comments, I know many are college and university students. I figured I would take a moment to highlight a great deal for those folks we’ve announced today. For a limited time, we are offering the LOWEST PRICE ($29.99 in the US) for Windows 7 exclusively to college and university students. This offer is perfect for students who are not planning to buy a new PC but want to experience all the benefits that Windows 7 will provide. To learn more about the offer and to check eligibility, students should visit www.Win741.com.

Students in the US can pre-order their copy of Windows 7 in the US starting today and students in the UK can pre-order their copy beginning on September 30th (pre-ordered copies will be available for download beginning October 22nd). Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Korea and Mexico can participate in this offer on October 22nd (Windows 7 GA).

Windows 7 is easy to use and great to take on the go to class as well as staying in touch with friends and family via Windows Live!

Windows 7 gives university students the tools they need manage their work (including an easy to use design, the ability to easily connect to devices, and take on the go to class and the library), stay in touch with friends (with Windows Live Essentials) and have fun (including Windows gaming, Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Media Center to interact with TV and movies).

Overall, Microsoft doesn't really care all that much if people abuse these programs....they would rather have $29 then nothing.

MS was not the victim of the ACM problem. ACM was.

Yup, add thousands of Student Members who were there already as Students. at the moment they see that due to some unethical folks, one of their Benefits is gone.

Developing the appropriate level of IT spending for an organization is an important element of IT strategy. On the one hand, IT executives seek to increase IT spending in order to better serve users. On the other hand, the IT function is no different from any other--it must accomplish its mission within the budgetary constraints of the organization. Inevitably, executives seek guidance in the form of benchmarks based on the experiences of other organizations' IT spending.

However, in studying IT spending benchmarks, it is easy to miss long-term trends. Just as day-to-day fluctuations in the weather can mask long-term climate changes, so can natural variations in IT budgets and corporate performance from year to year mask the long-term economic forces that drive the overall level of IT spending.

My friend purchased Windows 7 from Win741, not until realizing later that it's an upgrade. My friend wants to install it on a Mac, so he has no previous versions of Windows, so how is he suppose to upgrade? Did my friend just get ripped off? It says on the site, no refunds.

Caveat emptor. The site also said it was an upgrade.

$30 is a fair price to learn to read the full agreement or product description.

What's needed for an 'upgrade' version of Win 7? (Do I need an XP CD or something?)
