ECS Students: Free Microsoft software

Just a note for any ECS students on here. You can get free microsoft software, including Windows 7 Professional, for absolutely nothing.

Log in to your soton email at https://www.outlook.soton.ac.uk and find the email regarding MSDN:AA (e-academy). You can then log on to get a whole bunch of Microsoft software for nothing.

Im a little annoyed. I pre-ordered windows 7. Ah well, my dad can have it :p:

I havent attempted to get more but I beleive it is.

However, you can have windows 7 pro x64, windows 7 pro x86, windows 7 home premium x64 and 7 home premium x86.

I beleive you can have 1 of each :P. Vista and XP is there as well.

I could be wrong, but because its MSDN I think you can use the key as many times as you want, so if you have more than one computer.

No you can't. You can only get pro, home premium isn't there. But yes, you get a product key for x86 and x86_64 - so you can have two licenses, and they aren't version dependant, so as long as you use it on Pro you get two licenses of any mix of 64 and 32-bit. Which is nice.
