Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL for $30!

For once facebook has been useful for me!

A girl from Nokomis, the high school I went to, gave me this link:

http://thesubengy.wordpress.com/2009/09/17...llege-students/


Apparently Microsoft is having a program/event or whatever that offers windows 7 to college students for only $29.99 vs the full price of +$200!

The site she gave me gives directions to get 7 PRO instead of Home Premium. all you do is click a somewhat hidden link before you complete your order.

I did it, I qualified, and turns out it's true!

If YOU are in college as well, and if your college gave you an email address, DO THIS NOW!

The Pro edition has XP mode built in, home premium does NOT. My acer laptop qualified for a free upgrade to home premium, so I think I'll sell that when it gets here.

This offer that microsoft is doing allows you to download the installer straight to your computer, so you don't have to wait for the dvd to come in the mail. :yay:

-----NOTE-----

The offer from MSDNAA is NOT free. You have to get a login and password from your network admin, which appears to mean this MSDNAA offer is only for teachers/faculty. I tried logging in using my school longin & pass and it wouldn't accept me.

If anyone knows how to take advantage of the MSDNAA offer for STUDENTS, please post about how to do it.

Well gee, big surprise, MS sneaks into the educational system so they'll have hordes of MS fans when they enter their job. They've been doing that a long long time.

But remember, everything has it's price (even if it's getting narrow minded and one-supplier affixed).

Honestly OS piracy isn't worth it in college because you risk being caught and expelled/sued.

If you live off campus that risk is null and void.

Damn, not for Canada xDD.

Too bad, I will be 18 years from now. They would've probably made a new OS by then...

Are you really so sure you can? On PC's with Recovery Partitions, they prompt you to make back-up discs, which is basically your OS on disc, but its only able to work with the serial no. on your motherboard.

Theres no telling if Acer will send you an OS free upgrade thats been tweeked only to work on your Acer machine.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3HEN is fine, don't mess with what's not broken. The HEN version irc is for the super Slims, and CFW (evilnat) for other models
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also what are the differences with ps3hen and evilnat?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    @BigOnYa ok i read that the super slim model (the one i have) isnt compatible with cfw and that "HEN is the next best thing, it is a semi jailbreak applied on top of the OFW system software, it is geared towards console models that aren't CFW compatible, you can run homebrew, play backups but you cannot use customised system files & must reapply your customisations & HEN after every boot."
