Hey,

Windows 7 UK Student Offer
The best of Windows and the web together.

Buy Windows 7 for only £30!

We are offering students the opportunity to buy Windows 7 for an amazing discounted price, £30 for either Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional.

You can take advantage of this offer from September 30th but you will need to be quick as it is for a limited time only and is only eligible to college and university students with a valid .EDU email address (an email address given by the college or university, for example: Suzanne@leeds.ac.uk ), a PC that is currently running a genuine copy of Windows Vista or Windows XP and can run Windows 7.

This offer will be available from 1st October so please check back then for details on how to take advantage of this great offer.

Why Windows 7?

We have designed and refined Windows 7 based on your input. You’ve essentially asked for a PC that’s simple to use-one that’s faster, easier, and works the way you want. So we made hundreds of basic improvements, and a few you might not have imagined. From switching between programs to recording TV, Windows 7 simplifies the way you use your PC-and the way your PC connects with the world.

Is it me or are they 2 different days?
Which one is it?

Thanks.

Grr wish I had a student email

chigley · 20-09-09, 08:43 PM

I wonder if my college email address will be valid. I've never had problems getting student licenses for things in the past.

That said, I don't really need this, as I rarely rarely use Windows. It just seems like such a good deal - maybe I could eBay the serial or something!

you rebel

this is actually why i hate being in secondary school (a private one), we've only got a .co.uk domain so I can never get any products @ student rate... Adobe don't let me and neither do Microsoft...

You shouldn't have had any problems with Adobe?

All I had to do for my Adobe ones was photocopy and email proof that you attend full time education. I sent them a copy of a school bill and my school ID card, and received my serial(s) soon afterwards! I certainly didn't need to use school email address for that.

As for Microsoft, I've never tried before, so I don't know how fussy they are.

ainsleee · 20-09-09, 10:02 PM

I could lend you my uni email if your desperate.

ElectroGirl · 20-09-09, 10:09 PM

Wow! Great share Emma

I shall take advantage of the deal

which I wasn't

Using Photoshop CS4 as an example, you can save £420 by purchasing the student version as opposed to the standard version.

You're telling me you couldn't be bothered scanning a few more sheets of paper to save yourself £420?

digger600 · 21-09-09, 09:11 PM

I saved a fortune using students versions of adobes

but I had to get my IT technicina to help me as at my not private school we have nothing, even the my documents is shared

Shall have to see if I can get this sorted as windows seven looks better than vista by far
