Windows 7 Pro $19 for students

I was given the ability to opt in late last night so it took them a business week from me giving them my information for them to verify that I am a student.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but here's another huge thread dedicated to this:

Deal: MSDN-AA Access - $19 :: 8x Win7 Pro, 11x Vista Keys, 5x XP Pro + More! - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net

I've gotten access, and it's actually 8 keys for Windows 7 Pro, as the keys are not dependent on architecture or language, so if you get a foreign language key it will still work on an English install, and x64 will work on x86 and vice-versa.

I got the email wanting the extra verification. This after a week of using the OS.
I wonder if I don't reply then the key's blacklisted...and if so, I imagine I could just use the retail key I get on Oct 22 without having to go through the hassle of doing another full install.

But of course maybe everything will be ok. I switched my info to my son's highschool and he gave me his ID number--but he didnt know who is advisor is. LOL. Just like a HS Junior that plays too much XBOX Live not to know.

Shoulda went that rte in the first place, but--ahem--I think more than several folks, me included, just couldnt wait and instead of learning all the ins and outs we got overly excited and "just signed up".

I doubt they can blacklist the keys, but just in case I gave them my uni info... British unis don't use the same terms as US.. so I put my Personal Tutor's name as my Faculty Advisor.. didn't know if they are the same thing..

I opted in on the 8th, basically the day before they took away the opt-in button. 2 days later I also got the email about my advisor name/student ID.
