Microsoft Offers Students Special Price On Windows 7
 By

If you're a student, congrats. If you're not a student, it may be time to either call up or make a young friend. Microsoft has announced that it'll give students a great deal on upgrade versions of Windows 7, charging just $30.
Note that you and/or your more youthful pal don't need to be attending classes five days a week. What Microsoft's actually asked is that you supply it with a .edu email address, which is an even lower barrier to entry.
Then the deal will almost be yours. All you'll have to do is wait until October 22nd to download the upgrade version of Windows 7, since Microsoft doesn't intend to give students early access to the operating system.
This offer's good in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Korea, and Mexico (just be prepared to convert the $30 figure into local currencies). Also, in the event you're not ready to make the leap now, the offer's good through January 3rd in most spots.
Microsoft's move should help Windows 7 get a firm foothold on college campuses around the world. It might even earn the corporation a few lifelong customers if people are impressed with its eagerness to help out students.
