Vista - Steal a copy of Vista (legally)

If you’re a student at a U.S. educational institution, you qualify for some pretty insane deals Office and Windows. Microsoft’s Ultimate Steal program allows students to order Office Ultimate 2007 for $59.95 (no, that’s not a typo) and Windows Vista Ultimate Upgrade Edition (regular or Product RED branded) for $65.
The licenses are perpetual, meaning you get to continue using the software even if you quit school. And I see nothing in the terms and conditions that prevents using this copy for commercial purposes.
You need to have a .edu e-mail address and you need to swear on a stack of college transcripts that you are currently enrolled in school with at least 0.5 credits. Full details here.
Offer ends December 31, 2010.
