I'll agree it's a sketchy little website, but it's 100% legit. Microsoft has to do shit like this to keep the government off their back.

[Edited on September 23, 2005 at 9:58 PM. Reason : All CS / CPE students get it free.]

9/23/2005 10:16:41 PM

9/23/2005 10:53:06 PM

That's indeed what the e-mail is supposed to look like. If you're not CSC, CPE, CNC, or ECE, though, I'm not quite sure why you would have gotten one.

9/23/2005 10:55:00 PM

I got Windows Vista from MSDNAA. I don't think it's on there anymore.

9/23/2005 10:55:41 PM

i get that email every semester and i'm a CE

9/23/2005 11:17:11 PM

I got to use it when I took ECE331.

It's good stuff.

9/23/2005 11:18:41 PM

It's good to go. Get it for my Decision Analysis courses in Business School. Free XP and a lot of other good shit with no expiration date.

9/24/2005 12:19:48 AM

legit - a lot of business school classes get it for you

9/24/2005 1:56:36 AM

I am not in any business classes either...

I have no idea why I would have gotten it...

9/24/2005 9:51:48 AM

9/24/2005 9:53:38 AM

9/24/2005 10:01:25 AM

roll you eyes if you want, buy you're the one who seems to be still baffled by free legitimate software after about 10 people have told you it's ok.

9/24/2005 10:18:43 AM
