its just an upgrade from 7? thats odd..

for a valid .edu address you can probably get free win8 from your college.

man... your thread title is very misleading.


Would one of the mods please add the .edu email address requirement to the thread title?

With my college, unless you are taking a computer science class, you do not get MSDN access. Access only lasts for the duration of the class. My college isn't a small college either, it's UC Riverside.

Non EDU:

That says edu for me. Although I have a .edu.

This is an ok price since the EDU version on MS site goes for $69.99. Like Tsumi said, a lot of people don't get MSDN access unless they are taking computer science or equivalent classes.

For mine, it has to be your declared major.

Thanks! Looks like a decent deal.

I was worried about the 4-year expiration but I doubt I'll be using Office 2013 4 yeas from now.

The nice part of the subscription is that you'll get Office 2016 or whatever when they release it (as long as it's within the 4-year period).

If you don't have a .edu address, this guy is selling them on eBay for $65.

Same for UNLV. Must be a CS major and actively enrolled last time I checked.
