I can only see RC release candidate versions of windows 7 though... everybody is going to have to purchase an upgrade as the actual windows comes out don't they?

w7 is listed for my uni, but you have to be studying a course in the school of information technology or something, so I can't get w7. Maybe I should sign up for a class anyway, get w7 then drop it?

Dang UCSD EE isn't available. Is it available to student IEEE members right now, or not yet? Since I was planning on building a new rig soon, I would shell out the 30$ (I think that's what it was last time I checked) for the membership if it was available before October 22.

You technically aren't supposed to use MSDN product keys after your MSDN license is up (either through school, work, your own subscription etc) but they are just regular OEM keys so there's no way to enforce it

Hopefully this offer isn't limited time, I'll wait about a year until my RC runs out and get this when I'm off to college :D

as long as your school is part of msdn then it will always be there, until something like windows 9 comes out anyways.

got windows 7 working with everything except starcraft. The latest intel drivers don't allow me to change the aspect ratio so im playing sc on 16:10

I guess you could upgrade to win7 64bit if your CPU supports it.. I'd probably stick to the 32bit version with 2gb ram and upgrade later.

I just got keys for both versions (incl. XP/Vista ones ^^)
