I was just told that you can buy windows xp/vista for $15 at my local college bookstore so long as you are a student. Is this true or BS?

You cant buy Vista at all as far as I know - They do have a Eduacational licsense scheme for software though. At least they do here and in NZ.

I have no idea, but I call BS on this one.

While they do have student licenses when I bought a student ver it was a lot more than 15.

I would call or go to the store but theyre closed ATM.

When I was a student I got XP license for free, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were still doing that...

It wasn't at a bookstore though, it was offered from my department and only available to student in computer science/engineering majors...
