ACM Takes Windows 7 Final out of Developer AA Package

Dear Students,

This is a heads-up that ACM has had to take Windows 7 Final Release out of its Micorosoft Developer Academic Alliance package offered to Student Members due to a very large influx of non-computing students and professionals joining ACM just to download the software.

The Developer AA Package is meant JUST for computing students. Windows 7 Beta remains along with a lot of other software.

I encourage you to check out ACM Student Membership for "real" - membership is a bargain and you receive access to other free software (from Sun and CA) as part of our Student Academic Initiative, the digital edition of the "hot" and much talked about Communications of the ACM, Crossroads, e-mentoring, an opportunity to subscribe to the ACM Digital Library at a very low rate, etc., etc.

Lillian Israel
ACM Director of Membership

To all of you who fit into this category a big **** you very much! Your greed and unethical behavior have ruined this opportunity for those that it was intended for...

With all due respect....

Yeh still available here for me too, so... this post , apparently by ACM, is just a fake message posted by some knobhead?

 

[Antman]

The referenced post, with modest changes, is all over the place.

 

[SleeStak]

all the versions of Windows 7 that were available before from ACM are still there when I logon so I wonder if the post saying Windows 7 is going to be removed is legit I guess the question is if anyone is not seeing W7 RTM available anymore from ACM ??

 

[Eliah]

ACM-registered proper student. The Pro Windows 7 versions are all still there. Perhaps they are taken out for those who can't prove their student status?

I've checked and it is genuine.

 

[lawrywild]

Well, atleast I've saved all my 8 keys already in case it disappears

You mean they are really cutting down this ?
Even for the Students who are in for real ?

Sounds like it Crypto ... Thanks to those who thought that Getting Over on the system wouldnt' hurt anyone.. They seem to be awfully quiet about these developments now...

As far as I know, all of my students took advantage of this offer. Most were already members of ACM through their high schools. I won't see any of them until next week, so I will not be able to ask any of them for status.

Z3r010's investigative results notwithstanding, I do not believe the email anyway, whether or not it is from a member of ACM management. While ACM may have the ability to discontinue the MSDNAA opt-in feature, ACM does not have the ability to discontinue or alter a MS program. The burden of proof of a qualifying membership is borne by ACM, not MS.

One thing remains as true as it ever was - TINSTAAFL.

I'd be interested in hearing what you found out..

 

[i3networx]

guys its already gone in the software list

im lucky i got the 8 retail keys before they pull out the softwares

but what about the keys? are they valid for activation or not?

 

[Antman]

Confirmed. TINSTAAFL.

A sad day for ACM student members, perhaps, but I would imagine that access still remains. Contact ACM PA for details - as advised by the MSDNAA web page.

Lesson learned: ZIITL - z3r010 is in the loop.
