| Windows 7 Student Pricing $30 ?
http://www.win741.com/ is their official site, advertising it for $29.99 , retail $119
Just needs a valid school email address for eligibility.
However, I put in my SFU one and it's not valid, so I searched around whether this is valid for Canada and they say it is (as well as UK and Australia etc).
Anyone know more about this? $30 for this OS is definitely a steal.

The website they send you to says it's only valid for students in a US institution.

Microsoft plans to offer a substantial discount for college students who want to pick up a copy of Windows 7.
Starting October 1--and for a limited time--those in the U.K. will be able to preorder Windows 7 for 30 British pounds, according to a Microsoft Web site. In a Twitter posting, Microsoft said that U.S. college students will be able to get the software for $30, but the Web site it linked to does not yet have details on the offer.
"This offer is specifically designed for those students who are not planning to purchase a new PC this year but would still like to take advantage of what Windows 7 offers," a Microsoft representative said. Those who order the software will be able to download it when Windows 7 ships on October 22. Students interested in the deal need a valid college e-mail address.
Microsoft plans similar offers in Canada, Australia, Korea, Mexico, France, and Germany, though the prices will vary somewhat.
In the U.S., students can preorder their copy of Windows 7 beginning later Thursday, while those in most other countries where the deal is being offered will have to wait to order until October 22. In most markets, the offer will end on January 3, though it will run longer in some places, such as Australia, where it will be available through the end of March.
The offer was noted earlier by Microsoft enthusiast site Neowin.net.
This is the latest deal from Microsoft, which earlier offered a preorder offer the let users buy the upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium for $49. That deal ended July 11 for those in the U.S. Microsoft is also offering a "family pack" option.

It'll be available here on the 22nd.
It's the upgrade version though, just so it's clear. You'll need a copy of XP or Vista before you can install.

but that is of course if it is $30, i can't justify $400 ( are you sure? I read $120 )

true I guess, tho RC is good til June. It should be $30 it just isnt yet, if it stayed at $400 I'd buy a new computer before I'd buy it.
