The title says it all. Right now the best deals I can get for full versions is $89 on Home and $130 on Professional. I am still a student so trying to find a better deal. (our school doesnt have the full versions :(

Legally, no-one. Those discounted school copies are Volume License editions and the licenses are only valid for students enrolled at that particular school.

Yup, we get free copies for CS and ECE majors, but legally we can not share them, even with other CS and ECE majors.

you obviously have an operating system on the computer you are using, why do you have to have XP?

and Ogg's comment is illegal, it still makes M$ a little money where as if dxkj were to DOWNLOAD it they wouldn't make anything from him.
