NOOOOOOOO! http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx

Its professional instead of Win7 Ultimate, damn. I have Win7 RC on my new rig and wanted Ultimate to replace it, but they put up professional. Anyone know if they first put up professional when vista came out? I really want Ultimate but i am not going to pay 300 dollars. Any thoughts? Any info or rumors?
Thanks

Other than saying "I have Ultimate", there's no reason to have it over Professional except for what, languages and bit locker? I mean seriously, is there any other reason? The reason they did it last year is because Vista Business does not include some features of Home Premium. They had to do Ultimate to give them all of the features of Premium/Business. It wasn't because Ultimate had anything anyone gave a shit about. 7 Professional includes Premium + the extra's you normally find in Pro/Bus.
