| ACM.org MSDNAA Access for 19$US (Windows 7, XP, Vista, more...)
From RedFlagDeals.com http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s...d.php?t=779530
I don't understand what it's about, but apparently, everyone's been able to get Windows 7 for $19.

I was going to post this last weekend. Yup its confirmed to work. I tried it myself. You register on ACM and pay the 19$ fee for membership. And then once they process your payment you're allowed to "Opt in" for the MSDNAA access. Once you're in you have access to 4 versions of Win 7, Vista, XP SP3 etc. ALl of which you DL the iso and they give you a key. As for reinstalling later on the same PC, im not too sure as I heard they were one time use keys.
BTW for Windows 7 you get:
X86 Windows 7 English
X86 WIndows 7 French
X64 WIndows 7 English
X64 WIndows 7 French
Great deal in my books.

The thing is, I am confused about how many keys they give you. The Op said they provide 2 licenses, but everyone is downloading 4 copies of Windows.
Also, can you download 4 Windows 7 x86?

each key i was able to use it on 2 computer before the need to call in to ms and activate manually (explain why i am installing it for the 3rd, 4th, 5th time). i was able to use one key for 5 installs so far.
you get 4 keys. you can probably do 5x4 installs = 20 installs. it's just that you will have to convince the ms csr that you are not pirating.

They provide 2 copies for a key on the same platform (X86 or X64) since they give you french and english versions which you can basically change the language once you install.

So you can change the language from French to English once you installed it with the French x64/86?
What information did you give them at sign up? I'm opting to put generic names and address....
It also asked do I belong to ACM Student Chapter....
and Thanks!

any software available on the site. ex. XP Pro, XP Pro w/ SP1, XP Pro w/ SP... etc. 7 Pro, 7Pro French Windows Home Server.... etc, there is no Vista Home Premium though. I wish there was, not that it matters anymore, but still.
there will be NO MS Office, not now not in the future.
There are 4 keys to Windows 7 as already mentioned above: 7 Pro (x86 and x64) and 7 Pro French (x86, x64) - a total of 4 keys interchangeable between the four versions. I haven't tried, but I believe it's already confirmed over at RFD.

In the other thread, every student here had a reply saying they already got Windows 7. Why would they need to do this then?

If anybody has any extra keys that they don't need, I'll buy it off you for $15. Or 6pack of your choice.
Anybody?

From RFD, ACM, on Sept 09, began asking for student information. I guess all those non-students got lucky with the offer and ACM tightened up.
There is a total of 6 keys now. 2 chinese (simplified, x86 and x64) were added.

I still haven't signed up yet.
I know it's not OK to sign up if you're not a student.
But what if you were a student but not in any computer related program?

reamemiya there's an option for "other" in the degree choices, even business.. so i doubt its a concern
they wanted my student id and the faculty advisors name... i cant find their name for the life of me so i just put in the name of the department head
still dont have an option to "opt-in" though
