I ordered Windows 7 Professional upgrade through this, just in time for the new PC I'll be building next week.

Interestingly it's the same price as Apple's Snow Leopard upgrade, which I just picked up last night.. though that's available to everyone, not just students.
Microsoft is starting to come across desperate.

I don't think they are desperate. I think they are realizing that there are other options out there now - options that are just as good (or better) and more affordable (or free). Hopefully they will realize - especially in this economy - that their products are overpriced and people are slowly turning to those other options because of that.
They need to make the products available to the general public for a lesser price. I mean, if they slashed the price in half or more, I imagine they would sell considerably more units, making up the difference and then some. And as someone else pointed out, less pirating as well.
Just speculation!
I would never have gotten Windows 7 if it weren't as cheap as we paid. We also got Office 2007 from the ExpertZone, and we never would have gotten that either. I would have been willing to spend $30 - or even a little more - for Windows 7 (as a non-student), but not much more considering that I use Linux as a desktop OS .... and it costs me nothing.

I just did it today, $29.99. Just enter your .edu email and they fire you an email right away that sends you to the product page. It probably took me under 3 minutes to sign up, and purchase it. You select between 32 and 64 bit during purchase, and it says its a download. Should be fun!

Yes it's legit. It's an offer from Microsoft themselves through Digital River and whoever the other one is. I believe this is the upgrade versions
Nothing here right now.

Amazing price. I've been using Win7 on several machines for the past few months and I've really come to love it. I think it may be one of the first MS products I shell some dough out for.

I went ahead and ordered professional. I guess this deal is going on until January 3rd. I should be able to download it around late October. I will keep everyone updated.

Ive had professional for awhile, and I just got ultimate today. I actually liked the first feel to 7 a little better on professional, but I would have to say the VHD in ultimate is a total +++

Nice Windows 7 Deal, the OS seems quite nice! I think I might move to it just to use 64bit so I can use all my RAM
