student.. vista business for free FTW! :D

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

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.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/academic/

Actually thats great news, my college is a member, i gotta figure out who to talk to about this.

Someone is paying your tuition, right?

It's like tax refund checks ;)

Hmmm, "free" Vista Business through my school. Maybe when I build a new rig I'll use it. Hell, I think I'm just going to go nuts on the MSDNAA site.
