Does your college offer Vista for students yet?

It will be available on retail launch date here at Washington State. I only have 512mb of RAM though so I'm not sure if I'd just be slowing myself down.

Good to see another fellow cougar here.

I'm not even sure if UC Davis sells Microsoft products @ a cheaper price or for free 😕

In the end the students pay for it. Yes many universities have campus agreements with MS, but if one were to check their student fees there would be fees for technology.

You pay for those fees whether you get the software or not, so you might as well get the software.

XP Pro for $10 FTW!

XP Pro for $10 FTL

XP Pro for free FTW😛

I just checked my Academic Alliance program and I do have it there. I can't get the physical version yet but I can't download the DVD and the individual cd's.

Nope, Wisconsin is too cheap for that.

Not here at Michigan Tech yet from MSDN AA. We just got AA in the fall semester. I emailed them a month or so back about Vista and Office 2007 but they said coming soon. They don't offer any other versions of Office in our repository, but I hope they add Office 2007. Everything offered is free (for download, I haven't tried getting CDs). However this will likely be my last semester with a CS class, so I better get everything I can this semester! 🙂

Not at my University yet. Although we do have Office 2007 for 80 bucks.

I work for a portion of the U in the IT department and we have VISTA Copies and office 2007 copies....guess you students aren't lucky 😀

I assume from your profile you are at U of Minnesota? What U of M is the OP referring to? I am at U of Michigan and I haven't seen Vista on the MSDNAA website yet.

Only thing we get free is antivirus. Windows and Office are full retail where I go.

I'm getting Vista Pro tomorrow for free 🙂 Yay.

MSDNAA = Free vista but not yet. Engineering, CS and one other group gets it, but they killed the whole list and did a reverification before releasing vista to ensure non-eligible students can't get it.
