buying windows 7?
i remember a while ago you could download or buy windows 7 for like $30 if you were a mcmaster student ( http://www.macinsiders.com/showthread.php?t=2443 4 ) ...
now when i checked for this offer it seems to be $95. is this right? should i buy it? is there some other deal offered at titles that's better? |

It's free? That’s surprising...I don’t remember this. Do you remember what faculties were offering it for free (i.e., was science offering it for free :p) |

science i think yes, they should definitely offer it. Ask your department about it(in engineering we have a specific site).
You can try it, but it may not work:

Well, too bad for science I guess :(
I sent an email to the MSDNAA admin at McMaster and I am waiting for his reply, but through Microsoft's MSDN site, I found this:
So it's just these two departments that have it I guess, I'll still see what the admin says.
But you could always get an engineering friend to do it. |

Yea, but science is completely within the scope of msdnaa if I'm not mistaken, so why not take advantage of a good deal?
Oh an btw, you guys are entitled to at least ask to get registered. |

so if i'm in social science i will just have to buy it through titles?
if i do buy it through titles, can i also buy another one through microsoft's website? they ask for your email... does titles take your email as well? i just wanted to know if i could get the discount twice or if they only let you buy it once.

Because I like to believe I'm a non-conformist .... and also because I want Windows 7 Ultimate, but yet still do not know the difference between it and professional.
