Are there any U of Texas students around that can confirm this? If so, can you pick up a copy for me? :)

I'm a college student.... I should be able to get WinXP for $5, shouldn't I? :)

Well I've got a wife and 3 kids to raise. I should get WinXP for free right? :)

It's not just being a college student(although you can get an educational discount), this is a special discount available to students on several of the larger universities around the country.

Furthermore, they typically get the discount because the University has paid for a special licensing agreement with Microsoft.

Yeah actually, the head of the CS dept here at my college just sent our enrollment in that program this morning.... :)

I talked to him this morning, hopefully students will be able to purchase WinXP and office, in addition to some programming tools. This makes me happy :)
