I see 7 is in fact gone from the list.

However, my "orders" are still listed, download links are still there and so are my keys. I guess you will be able to access your stuff if you got it in your cart and downloaded them before they removed 7, but anyone else is out of luck.

I guess I squeaked in JUST under the cutoff and got my hands on the keys at just the right time.

Well, this sucks for people who actually ARE students...like me.

To be honest, I suspect that Windows 7 will be added back in after the release. Just my opinion.

Yep. They're just laying traffic cones to ease the burdern they're feeling trying to get through all the bogus applications.

I JUST got my username/pw and tested it by downloading win 7 x64 English version last night. I was going to go back for the rest today.

haha, so if every family that has one student can get windows 7 for $19, where it leads Microsoft?

If you are in science or engineering you should check your department's website.. my school has it's own MSDN AA portal so I didn't have to sign up or pay for anything.

MSDN AA is also offered through the IEEE. A half-year student membership is only US$16.

I have a professional membership with IEEE, is it available to me?

I've been looking around IEEE's site and can't find anything.

I should have joined when I was a student. Too late.

Great, my account was deleted or something.

http://msdn01.e-academy.com/ACM I can't login here anymore, it tells me user not found.

I'm shocked...

Did you get the email asking you to verify your student access? I got it and didn't verify so I'm not surprised.
