Is this just a deal your school has or can all students get that?

I know at UT a few years back (and prolly still) you could get XP Pro for $35, if you were a student. There were also several people selling them on the net for $40, but I don't think that was legal.

I'll definitely not be upgrading to Vista in the forseeable future.

Academic Alliance. Usually for CS/EE/CE majors. Think MSDN but for students. Its free and nice

We also get other software like Server 2003, SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, etc.

Actually, a couple years ago it was $5.

I used it, and it was nice, but a little bit of a pain...I'll go for it when I get some more RAM...

i think so. but then I don't really like OS X. I hate not having a taskbar, a start menu, or the ability to maximize a windows.

 

[thehstrybean]

It would be nice if I had some drivers, too *cough*Nvidia nForce 410 & GeForce 6150*cough*

This thread is worthless without pics. C'mon people! (my Vista RTM expired so I'm "disabled")

 

[jpeyton]

I find it funny that students think their copies of Vista/Office are "free".

Someone is paying your tuition, right?

QFT, I just tried booting Vista and remembered I never got around to doing an "slui -rearm" while I could still get in.
