If you're a student (or not) with a working .edu email address and don't have a bias against using Microsoft products, then Windows 7 can be yours for $30. They're offering upgrade versions of both Home Premium and Professional for that price. 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?".

Similarly, in the instant case, I have an alumni address that ends in.edu. I "Stole" Microsoft office for $60. I answered all questions truthfully and got a screen that said "Congratulations!" And an e-mail with the product key. (I paid six dollars for "insurance" -- the ability to re-download the office suite from Digital River for like one year. I believe the year is up and I am going to need to re-download it when I finally do my clean install of Windows 7. Right now I am dual booting with Windows Vista. Do you see what I did there?)

In any event, to get to my point, where it says, as you say, "need to join your school's network domain?" what do i answer? If I answer yes and it tries to take me to a page to join my school network domain no luck there. All I have is a naked forwarding address with EDU as its TLD. Will that work?

Any statistics majors want to take a stab at calculating the odds of being audited?
