Microsoft is offering students upgrade versions of Windows 7 with a low price of $30. Students will be able to buy upgrade versions of Windows 7 in a discounted price until January 3, 2010 at 12:00AM. In order to avail the discounted price of Windows 7, an email should be sent using a valid email address of your college or university. Microsoft will then send an e-mail if the student qualifies for the discounted price of Windows 7. More details at http://yourdailyguide.org/windows-7-for-only-30/
Most students at large universities can get it for $15 because Microsoft grants licenses to their big clients at discounted prices early. I got Windows 7 early, 2 weeks ago for $15.
It is only to those who is in US and UK only. So not everyone can have the advantage of buying Windows 7 at this low price. - Dynashox -
Is it only for those student which are from US or UK or it is for all over the world? And which version will it be? Home Premium, Platinum or Ultimate?
Unfortunately, it's only for UK and US students only. You get to choose between Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Home Premium. If i would choose between the two, i will go for Professional. Regular Price: Home Premium Upgrade - $119.99* Professional Upgrade - $199.99* Ultimate Upgrade - $219.99*
Professional is better than home, here are features that Pro has but home doesn't: **Run many Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download). **Connect to company networks easily and more securely with Domain Join. **In addition to full-system Backup and Restore found in all editions, you can back up to a home or business network.
I'm currently using Vista but doesn't seem to like it, no choice since it's pre installed when i bought the laptop. Think will upgrade to windows 7 soon.
Yes VISTA came pre installed for me too..but if they over price a product .. either use the old one or maybe get a key from some1
