Microsoft is offering Windows Vista Ultimate (Upgrade) SP1 to Australian Uni and TAFE Students (and staff I believe). You need to have a valid university email address (*.edu.au I imagine).

Offer is only available online - you can download the installation disc yourself or have one sent to you for an extra $14.

Microsoft seems to be doing this in conjunction with the Office Ultimate offer for $75 that they seem to have done for the last few years. There is also some other software available on the website.

You can say all you want about Vista, but this is a good deal for students in the market for software - this would normally retail for over $200.

According to the Microsoft Website, this deal is available until further notice.

  just a note, you can get the file off the aarnet mirror. (if you're at a university that uses aarnet as their isp, this download is therefore free)

    Unfortunately, the upgrade part means you must be upgrading form one of a range of approved Microsoft Windows operating systems

  Thanks for posting this. I wouldn't use Vista and am waiting for Windows 7 but this is still good to know.

    How can you not just take advantage of the $75 Office Ultimate deal from MS for Uni students…

    As a non student I sure wish I could get it that cheap.

  I can't say for sure, but 2 years ago when I dd the Office 07 promotion I was able to pick up a copy of the CD from the campus. If you don't want to download and/or burn a copy, it may be worth throwing an email to the Student IT area or whoever to see if they're going to offer the disc.

  I love this and the MS office promotion they had a while ago.

  alunedi7: There is a trick to using an upgrade disc only. Google it.

    But you'll need to burn a bootable ISO disc. I found how to do it, but got an evaluation disc in the end.
    Not sure whether the evaluation period is available in these downloads though.
