Not sure if this has been brough up or posted before, but I just found out about this deal today. I know its limited to a certain demographic group, but it would suck for someone to pass this up. If you know anyone that can get this deal, try and ask them to buy it for you.
It applys for any student or persons enrolled in a college in the University of Texas system. This includes UT Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Arlington, SouthWest Medical, and Houston Medical Center. Full list is here: http://www.utsystem.edu/admit.htm
They have full retail/standard edition of Microsoft XP Pro, Office XP pro, Frontpage, Office for Mac, Visual Studios, and a few other high end programming packages. These prices are crazy, $6.00 for XP Pro, $18.00 for Office XP. They come with cds, product codes, and keys. Only thing it doesnt include is manuals, its just the CD. The UT College system has a special licence agreement with Microsoft. I just picked mine up today, just filled out a form, and recieved the software.
Each campus's bookstore should have the form you need, and provide you with any information you need. They say quanities are limited to one copy of each per person, but 9 times out of 10, the guy behind the counter doesnt care. If you know anyone at one of these schools, get them to pick you up a copy.
It wouldnt hurt to check out other schools as well, up until now, I didnt know they offered things like this.
