I spotted this deal today on Lifehacker:

"The CyberNet blog points any student with an interest or inclination toward the "science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields" to check out the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), where a membership is $19 and one of membership's key perks is access to Microsoft's MSDN Academic Alliance catalog. That lets you snag Office and other normally high-priced products for very low prices, and Windows 7 Professional licenses for free, minus the cost of membership. A single validation key for Windows 7 Professional at the cost of a pizza is pretty good, but CyberNet sweetens the deal by noting that picking up eight separate keys for 32- and 64-bit version of Windows 7 in four different languages gives you eight keys that work on any installation. That's a seriously cheap family upgrade pack."
So basically if you know a high school or college student with any interest in science, technology, engineering or mathematics they can apply for an ACM membership for $19. If this membership is approved (and I can't see why they would decline you) you then qualify for a Windows 7 Professional license. You can also download eight seperate keys in four different languages which you can use on all the PCs in your house. Quite the deal. I may have to have my daughter apply for membership. :)
Microsoft removed Windows 7 from that program last night.
Even better - looks like you can get the full version permanently for $30. Not as good as $19, but still worth it. It says "upgrade", I assume that means upgrade from Vista, but it's not clear.

here's the catch - you have to have a student e-mail address to get it :(
Anyone have a spare student addy they aren't using? ;)
