Unfortunately there are very little information about student licenses - and as for what I know It is not possible to buy a new PC with Student Licenses for both operations system and Office pack preinstalled..? This would perhaps lower the costs a bit and make the PC cheaper. Nice webpage you’ve got here! The smiley was cool

Some college computer courses have MSDN academy website that provides many Microsoft softwares free as well. I just got my visual studio 2008 for free which is super great deal!

Saving students money on software sounds great! It is hard enough to earn enough money while being in school. Offline side jobs and online freelance writing tasks doesn’t always cover the bills, but any discount students can get, the better.

“****BUYER BEWARE*****
I ordered $1,300 in product from Costcaptain & paid for 3-5 day shipping. Today is day 5 no items. No phone number on website- I end up finding a number that is clearly someone’s cell phone. I emailed the customer service & customer service told me that they have no idea when my items will come in from the manufacturer. So basically, they are selling items they don’t have! I was so mad! I am now disputing the charge with my credit card company. In doing more research I found out that this is a one many job- no a whole company, just some shady guy. If you don’t want a fraud nightmare with your credit card company, trust your gut instincts, wish I had. If it’s too good to be true: it is! Lesson learned! “
