    Just in case this hasn't been posted any student with a valid .edu email can get windows 7 home premium or profesional for only $30 from the website below!

    http://www.win741.com/

    Be warned however this is only a download of windows 7 i.e. not a disk copy, you download it and install it no CD included. If you want the official Microsoft CD it cost an additional $13.

    Very old news, and you can make a bootable USB or DVD with the downloaded setup files.

    If I get the discs from the student discount plan, are these discs the same ones they sell in the retail version or do they have some crappy school bloatware preinstalled into these discs?
