Why on earth would you want to dual boot vista/7.. are you really looking for trouble that hard?

Schools that qualify...

Those schools are the schools without .edu e-mail addresses that qualify, not a comprehensive list of all schools that qualify

$30 should be the standard price of upgrading after the whole Vista debacle. Me thinks Microsoft is trying to pull an Apple by charging for an incremental upgrade (service pack) to their OS.

<i> In order to see Professional, you'll have to: Enter in your .edu email address, click the link in the confirmation email, and finally click on where it says "Need to join your school's network domain?".</i>

So yes #20, you can get profesional.

I hate how it wont confirm if you ordered the 32 or 64 version! Kinda disheartening!

"Microsoft has confirmed that computer users will be able to test its new Windows 7 operating system for up to 120 days before they need to buy it.Officially, the trial period lasts for 30 days, but a loophole has been found in the Windows 7 verification process that will allow computer users to "reset" this clock up to three times at the end of each 30-day period, thus extending the trial to a total of 120 days."

rc 7100 works just as good for free

#33 doubt no more. I am running Windows 7 RC 7100 on a Dell Mini 9 with a SSD and it runs WAY better than XP. Windows 7 actually has enhancements to work better on SSDs then previous versions of Windows.

I only can see Premium. Does anybody know how to get the link to professional?

I am using Eset 4.x, however, you have to play with the firewall to share well. Kaspersky also works.
