| I'm finally going to move to WinXP Pro I just found out something cool, my school (The University of Texas at Dallas) sells Win XP Pro Full Version to students for $6 and MS Office XP Pro for $18. Woohoo!! For that price, how can I resist the urge to use XP? Just wanted to let you guys know that it seems many colleges have an agreement with Microsoft. Good Deal!

| Are you sure about that? We get s/w discounts too, but not THAT good. Double check that its the full and current version.

| Yeah it is the full version, but I think the student full version expires in 120 days, then you have to cough up the cash. If this is the case, try this: Load it up and configure it with all your drivers. Get it in good working order then image it. If it expires, you can either reinstall it or load the image.

| The Software Engineering students at RIT get to download all sorts of neat stuff from MS for free. Of course, tuition isn't cheap.  http://msdn07.e-academy.com/rit_soft...FTOKEN=1600201 Phalanx28 |

| this is a real bad move you are doing go for Windows 2000 (my college was selling it for 5$ for a 120 day version and I got over 10 cd from my Microsoft Studying Curriculum (7 big book of over 800 pages) Windows 2000 > Windows Xp Windows XP > Windows 98 Windows 3.11 > Windows ME  Btw 120 days is great.. after this you only have to format then your back again for 120 other day
