Microsoft Ultimate Steal? - sk8mystery23 - 05-03-2011
Just wondering if anyone has done this or knows the legitimacy of it. I did a little research myself, but I figured I would ask here before I went around throwing my information on some website.
Microsoft Ultimate Steal eh?
Re: Microsoft Ultimate Steal? - KarthXLR - 05-03-2011
for students only.
Also, this isn't uncommon. Many college sites have insane deals for college students. Example: I could buy a student copy of AVID media composer (normally $3000+) for a little under $300.

Yeah, I have a EDU email address, I've actually already signed up for it, I just haven't gotten to purchasing it. This thread is kinda a whole, "Has anyone else used this?" plus "Hey check it out other students you can get some cheap Windows 7 + Office!"

Microsoft has offered most of their products via a student edition for @ .edu users at insane discounts for the longest time, you might have been the only one online to not know about that.

No, not really, I was more wondering if anyone had used this specific site. Considering I already got stuff from my school, and got Visual Studio for free.
I don't know, I figured someone else would have known about this specific site. Guess I was wronggg.

this is how I bought windows 7 for $30. It's legit, worked out well. Only hiccup is that I went with the download service, and they do place a limit on how many times you can attempt the download, so be sure to have a couple backups somewhere! They can reset the counter but it is a HUGE pita that I actually just finished going through this week.

Oh, awesome. Thanks for a real answer! Haha, but can you use the serial code for it more then once? Because I have a copy of Windows 7 now, but I could only use the code once, so I want something I can install over and over.
Re: Microsoft Ultimate Steal? - copulatingduck - 05-05-2011
How could you only use the code once? You mean you could only use it once ever, or you're only supposed to have it installed on 1 machine at a time? I've definitely used my serial multiple times, on multiple machines. Assuming it's the same scheme (I don't see why it would change), the serial should be re-usable. Worth calling and asking though, to be certain

The use only once code I'm talking about isn't from this Ultimate Steal deal. I got it from somewhere else, but I could literally only use the code once, if I try to reactivate with the code again it will fail. I knew that when I installed it though. It was completely free, so now I'm looking to purchase this and have a legit OS that will actually last me a long time.
Re: Microsoft Ultimate Steal? - copulatingduck - 05-05-2011
ah, ok. yea, the key I got from them during pre-order was a legitimate serial, can use it as much as I want. I've never purchased their office stuff so I'm not sure how that goes, but probably the same process.
The specific package I bought (which was actually through digitalriver I think? from the link you posted there's a section labeled "Other student deals from Microsoft" which is the purchase I made):
Quote:Product SKU: FQC-02813
Product Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Upgrade (Pre-Ordered)
Anticipated Released Date: October 22, 2009
Qty Ordered: 1
Amount: $29.99
Product SKU: DR_EDS_PRODUCT
Product Name: Extended Download Service
Qty Ordered: 1
Amount: $5.95
Shipment Tracking Numbers:
                SubTotal: $35.94
                Shipping: $0.00
                Tax: $2.24
                Total: $38.18
Technically I purchased an upgrade, but because I was "transitioning" from 32 to 64 bit, I had the option of doing a fresh install, which is what I used.
Re: Microsoft Ultimate Steal? - sk8mystery23 - 05-05-2011
As long as I can do as many fresh installs as I want I should be good, thanks for the help!
