As most of you know I attended the launch of Windows 7 today. Epic morning with some cool demonstrations and information on windows 7 including it’s testing and R&D stats.

Now onto the good news!

Like I said at the event on Monday academic prices should be released today, and I was spot on!

For a limited time, Windows 7 will be available for $49.95 for Australian higher education students allowing them to download a Windows 7 upgrade at an all-time low price.

The offer will be available from October 22^nd, 2009 and in Australia will run until March 31^st 2010 allowing existing students and students beginning their study in 2010 the option to upgrade.

However for the update to work (This is not a fresh install, this is an UPGRADE) the OS on your computer must be either Vista or XP and must be a “Genuine Copy”.

Additionally you have the option to download either the 32- OR 64-bit version.

This isn’t just for IT students, this is for everyone. tell your friends, tell their friends. There’s never been a better time to get your hands on Windows 7.
