    do they add anything to the software or anything to make it known it has been purchased for school with that school name?

    or is it still the same computer you buy, and they just take some of the price off at the end?

    I ordered through the APP student program and they did not tell me that they would be "adding" any additional software, ect. As far as I know, it simply gives you a discount.

    alright cool, because i'm starting at another school in about a month and don't want anything on the computer with the other school.

    do they preregister it to you?
    or do you turn it on for the first time and have to enter all your information?
