Windows 7 Discounted edition for college students
Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) is offering the Home Premium
version of its new Windows 7 operating system to college
students for just $30. The OS usually sells for $119.
In order to qualify, students must enter their college or
university e-mail address into a special Web site that
Microsoft has established in partnership with distributor
Digital River for the promotion.
Microsoft said it also may require proof of enrollment, but
it was not immediately clear how rigidly the software maker
plans to enforce the policy.
The Web site also features a link to Microsoft's online
Upgrade Advisor, which students can use to verify that their
PCs are capable of running Windows 7.
The full version of Windows 7 Home Premium is priced at
$199, with an upgrade from Vista or XP costing $119.
