I would be intrigued to see some graphs comparing sells of the student offer and preorders at the discount price vs retail prcies
I predict that the combined sales of the frist two won't be greater than retail sales but it will be mesuarably close. The big reason that the combined sales doesn't exceed retail sales is the fact that it is for limited groups and one of the offers is of course expired
Conclusion: If not for the limited availbility of said offers, I believe that Microsoft's offering of Windows 7 at a discounted price had to of been a positive business venture but who knows that their sales/marketing department is thinking
Maybe we don't see the whole picture?
