$15 dollar windows XP/Vista college myth?
 

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...

They have that for office to but actually require you fax stuff to them every so often.

That might be like the pool on the roof high school joke only nerdier.

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

When I was a student I got Office XP for $10 through the IT department.

You can get the 180day free trial on almost anything ;-)

I had to pay a lot more than that for MS Office. $130 I think, back around 1998

Studend price. On 27 floppies.
