If you are a university student studying for a computer related subject you can get vista business for free by loggin onto the MSDNAA website! maybe this is a good alternative to purchasing it from the shops

If you are a university student studying for a computer related subject...

I think that I am just about the only person on this forum that this would relate to. Of course there are a few more, but very, very few. Thanks for the tip, though.

Dude, part of the contract was not to discuss this. Don't be an idiot and break rules, they could track you based on the information on your acount. And since the cat is out of the bag, I might as well say that I have it too, and this is true.

The easiest way to kill all Covenant.

1. Put a sign on a door that says. Forerunner Artifacts here.
2. Watch them pile in.
3. Blow it to pieces.
4. Repeat!

No, he is referring to this one. Remember that your college must be part of the Academy Alliance if you want to make use of the service.

I have to say though that it is great if your college is part of the Academy Alliance, I was able to freely download Windows Vista Business, parts of Office 2007 and more.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I could have done that, but I got Ultimate as a B-day present.

it was a promo when i got my computer from this local computer shop

basically come buy a computer here and we will sell you a version of vista like 100 bucks off or something like that
so like basic was free
home premium was 32$
ultimate was like 200 something

(and the company has the best warranty i have ever seen if your comp breaks and they cant fix it in 2 hours they give you a new 1)

i dont think they are doing it anymore it was around Christmas time to a few weeks after vista came out (they were layawaying the orders or sending you upgrades if you ordered it before vista came out

No, it is not. This is not a way for you to get "free" software in the way that you're thinking of "free." You'll have to go look for that kind of "free" somewhere else. If and when you do find a "free" version of Vista, make sure you don't post the info here, with links, and get yourself blacklisted.

Not only for college, also if you are taking a high school computer class it is possible your school can be a part of it

I dont think it is a big so called secret the poster are all around my university in the UK for everyone to see lol, yes its true they give windows vista business edition and also 64 bit edition. You should ask your university for more information. It is called the MSDNAA just ask the module leader and they should be registered with the MSDNAA and give you a username and password.
