    I asked for them to add Wayne State. :)

    Even though I already pre-ordered Windows 7... Maybe I could let my parents use it or something.

    I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
    I want a girl who knows what's best
    I want a girl with shoes that cut
    And eyes that burn like cigarettes

    I want a girl who preorders Windows 7
    Who's fast and thorough
    And sharp as a tack
    She's playing with her jewelry
    She's putting up her hair
    She's touring the facility
    And picking up slack

    I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

    Magic, ask that they add GVSU to their list. You have to request it.

    So the list that was dug for is for colleges that don't have a .edu email. SO, if you have your email ends in .edu you can get it. I just did it myself

    Neither TCC (the community college I attend now) nor FSU (which I will be attending in the spring) are listed. I did submit TCC for consideration though, so hopefully I can get this.

    It says that you need either a valid .edu e-mail address or attend one of the schools listed just FYI.

    As Ben said, as long as you have a valid .edu e-mail address that should also work. The list of schools are only those who are in addition to the .edu schools.

    Man. Nobody ever has my school on their list.
    Even when I am applying for student loans and stuff, half the time my school is not on the lists. My school is a crap hole. (Wayne county community college)

    Either way, I filled out the info to try and get it.
    I did not have a school email address so instead they asked for a scanned picture of a school ID, a class schedule or payment proof. I sent my class schedule. Hopefully I get it....

    Damn, my utexas email doesn't appear to forward to my gmail anymore. :(

    This is great.

    I'm not sure how other schools work, but Texas A&M lets you use your school .edu e-mail after you graduate.

    So even though I've graduated I'll definitely pick up a copy. This is just too good to pass up.

    The problem is I don't have a legit XP license to upgrade from (I'm almost 100% OSX) - so it might not even be worth the $30. Buying XP then buying the upgrade vs just buying a full version of Win7. Hmmmm.

    It says in the terms and conditions that MS could contact you for enrollment verification and if you cannot provide it you will be liable for the difference between the ammount paid and the retail price of the software. Not saying that MS would do this for every student, but just putting it out there.

    I've read the install-w/o-activation-then-'upgrade' tactic might work.
  • _k_k P-Town, Texas Icrontian
    edited September 2009
    Everything I have been reading is saying that if you have XP or Win7 RC you cannot upgrade with files in place like Vista versions will but it requires a fresh install so you need to migrate data around to save it.

    Fresh install is the only way to do a new OS.

    Dear Customer,

    Thank you for contacting the Windows 7 Offer online store.

    We understand that you are inquiring about installing Windows 7 to a
    computer which does not have a current Operating System installed.

    This is a full version of Windows 7 so can install it to a computer
    which does not have an Operating System installed.

    And if you are EE or CS or other computer degree person you might want to check here http://www.msdnaa.net/search/SchoolSearchUS.aspx because I am downloading win7 Pro for free right now!

    Hmm, all you need is a valid .edu address you say? I have one of those despite the fact I graduated nearly 2 years ago now. I wonder....
  • SnarkasmSnarkasm Madison, WI Icrontian

    You have to have access to your valid .edu account as well.

    I do have access to it. My University started letting students keep their email accounts for life if they signed up for the alumni newsletter and whatnot.
