An ultimate offering from Microsoft came in the form of cheapest Windows 7 edition for students. The company announced at throwaway prices. Windows 7 Home Premium would now be available for £39.95 for the students.

As the new price tag is valid for students only it would be shipped with a single software license to avoid fraudulent applications and would contain the DVD and a serial key directed to the user's address.

Nevertheless, this is just another way of selling the Windows edition; as the other methods include downloading or exchange offers. Since it's a college based offering, one need to enter the university/college email address to obtain the product.

The conditions to qualify and receive an email from Microsoft are very critical for the purchase of the product.
