Windows Vista Education Discount

[CamDawg]

While searching for another piece of software for my school, I ran across this deal on Windows Vista:
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade (Shipping 1/30/2007): $89.98.

You must provide proof that you are either a teacher, student, or educational staff member, so the deal is only good for those here who either teach, work for a school, or are enrolled in classes. Pretty good deal if you meet any of those conditions.

That's pretty cool! I wonder if Vista will install on a Mac properly or if there are just tons of issues...

[KEEZY]

I'm hoping that I can get this on the super cheap through my school... as in the price of the disc itself. Now if only I could get that kind of discount on a PC that could handle Vista.

Handling vista and being able to utilize vista are two seperate beasts. Most systems nowadays will be able to handle it.

Thanks for the info Cam! My kids are homeschooled, so we'll qualify. Very nice!

I've found it floating around the net for FREE ...

Shhh.........


Plus, those copies are un-reliable compared to retail. The one thing I will never pirate is an OS.

What D_Litch said is true. It's a pain in the arse trying to get updates and stuff.

Thats one reason I buy cheap ass Dell PC's. I got one a few months ago in the outlet center for $250 that came with XP Media Center and a 250 gig HD. Good stuff!
