    Found this at Gizmodo.

    You need to have a valid school email address apparently.

    The website is confusing. Just go to the 'buy' section and click on it.

    MSDN doesnt give going OS's

    You generaly get the enterprise editon on 64 bit

    You only get some things that are usefull, others are a waste of time.


    Already asking my Uni about this on monday, if i can get more Keys, anyone who needs could always pay me and i could send you the key, But lets hope the Uni actualy is in partnership first

    Through my MSDNAA account, I get a free copy of every piece of Microsoft software excluding Microsoft Office. (I do get Access, Visio, and Project though!).

    This includes Windows XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003 & 2008 in both 32bit and 64bit. I get the Professional or Enterprise or both versions of the OS.

    That would probably be because the other Office apps are covered by the "Home and Student edition"... but not Access, Visio or Project. Relatively few students will need to use those but there will be some, so in lieu of there being any other alternative for students they get them through MSDNAA. That'd be my guess.
