Students Can Get Windows 7 Pro for $19

[randomizer]

I did the same thing but through IEEE and for $16. Yesterday I discovered my university's MSDNAA subscription would receive Win 7 shortly anyway. Shame, but I expected it to take a year like with Vista.

Mr. Parish you might want to start verifying the information you post, it makes both you and THG look incompetent.

To the rest of the world while you can't get win 7 for free MS does give away developer software for students through the dreamspark program.

You can get Win Server 2008 R2 from there for free too.

Actually, when this article was written you could get Windows 7 from there. Had you read more than the first comment you'd see that. Congrats on your fail.

Actually I just checked my school's MSDNAA site (I'm an engineering student) and Windows 7 Professional (both x86 and x64 versions) is still there for me. I noticed they took down the Ultimate RC that they had there just a few days ago though...

already have Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM running smoothly. Got it off DreamSpark, just gotta wait for my college's MSDNAA to get Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 licenses for me to grab.

This $19 offer can't beat the free offer of MSDNAA =P!

Cool.
Running RTM, and just gonna -rearm when it requires activcation, and once my 4 rearms are done, I'll just fake activate it. =D

Nice to see though... I have a crapload of science and mathametics courses. Think I can apply even though I'm not in school anymore?

Wow some article, this isn't news, as it is soo old and doesn't even work anymore. Writer needs to do some catching up...

 

[tiredwolf]

I got it for "free" througn my school, just like every other microsoft product. im a CS student

 

[Gin Fushicho]

I already got it for free from them for keeps. I love my tech school. =)

Well, despite the comments about which OS is available at different web sites, it is still an excellent deal for students.

 

[scook9]

well it is still an option on MSDN for GMU haha, downloaded both my x86 and x64 licenses (and both will install x64 )

typing this right now using Win7 RTM on my tablet from MSDNAA(VT CS student)

 

[Guest]

I signed up for ACM a few weeks ago because of the MSDN access but I intend to keep it anyway. Any professional membership is great to have on a resume. I didn't even know it existed.

Thou I think it makes ACM look bad professionally. They should have confirmed every student's status before granting access. Now they are just having a knee jerk reaction.

I'm actually running Win 7 RTM on my laptop right now. IEEE also has MSDN access but they pulled the English ISO images.

 

[bboysil]

I had no probles with the RTM I got from MSDNAA.

 

[Ridik876]

Yeah I got my Windows 7 key 2 days ago from this, granted I'm a student. I had to supply a student ID and a Faculty Advisor. I imagine it was originally put in place as a deterrent to fabrication, but as soon as it hit slickdealz, I'm sure their volume went absolutely through the rough. Glad I got Windows 7 for 4 machines for 19 bucks though. NANNER NANNER NANNER!!!! 😛

 

[Guest]

thanks to all the freakin online hype they removed win 7 >.>...darn it..i was only able to get 1 out of 8 keys provided ...zzzz

 

[jay236]

Windows 7 Professional 32/64 is still available for my school MSDNAA site as well.

 

[spazebar]

Thanks if it wasn't for this article I would never have realized that I could get Win7 for free by being a DeVry student.

 

[Andraxxus]

If only they would do this worldwide.

 

[Guest]

This is incorrect. If you read the application form, it says clearly: (Please note: The Microsoft Developer Academic Alliance package offered to Student Members DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY VERSION OF Windows 7.)

 

[davehcyj]

You can no longer get access to Windows 7 through ACM -- MS took it down because of wide spread abuse by non technology students and even worse by people that were not students at all.

 

[Asinger93]

"(Please note: The Microsoft Developer Academic Alliance package offered to Student Members DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY VERSION OF Windows 7.)". FUCK!!!

 

[davidgrenier]

Still worth it just for Visual Studio 2008 pro, heck Windows 2003 Enterprise R2SP2 x64 is still a good desktop OS.
