Wow, I just came across a handy link you’ll want to share with any college students (or parents of college students) you know: Windows 7 is only $29.99 for those enrolled in a U.S.-based educational institution. To qualify, the student must be taking at least 0.5 course credits and have either an @EDU.com email address or attend one of the institutions listed
here. If so, the deal available
here, will let them grab the Windows 7 Professional Upgrade edition for digital download. Backup media can be optionally added to the order, too, if desired.
The deal is currently being featured on
microsoft.com/student, which is a valuable resource for finding great deals on Microsoft software, with links to
Office 2010 for $79.95, all the student deals on the Microsoft Store
site, all the free downloads from
Dreamspark (professional development tools), and more. This almost makes me want to go back to school myself. Well, almost.
