![Microsoft Windows 7 For Students at $29.99 [Windows 7 Student Offer Makes Us Drool]](http://nexus404.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads2/alt/windows-7-student-offerpostvotbox17090_.jpg)
It’s official that Windows 7 is launching next month (on October 22) with a hefty price tag attached for which Microsoft has attracted some criticism, but not if you’re a student. Rumors have it that from September 30, Microsoft is going to offer their next-gen operating system to students for only $29.99 — deal running through Digital River, instead of the normal retail prices that cost times more.
Meant for those who couldn’t afford to buy a new PC with Windows 7 pre-installed, it’s the best price a student gets to pay for the new Premium Home edition or the Professional builds. Interesting however, Microsoft UK also has the offer for a more expensive 29.99 GBP, compared to the 79.99 and 189.99 GBP respectively, that you’d have to pay if living in Britain.
One last thing regarding the Windows 7 Student Offer. To be eligible for the offer you need to have a college or university valid .edu email address and a PC that currently runs on a genuine copy of Windows Vista or Windows XP.
I wonder what happens if we get creative and find some .edu addresses to apply with. How’s MSFT going to track everything? Still a great offer though!
