Microsoft Offers Students Windows 7 Upgrade For $29.99

For a limited time only, Microsoft have decided that students deserve to get an upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 for just $29.99! On Friday Microsoft announced the new deal which would see a saving of over $30 for the average student.

Microsoft are allowing any student who is currently enrolled at a university, with a current student ID and a valid email address to take advantage of the offer. Not only are Microsoft giving this upgrade at a fraction of the cost, but they’re also giving students Windows 7 Professional and not the standard Windows 7 Home Premium.

For students who meet the criteria, all they need do is visit the Microsoft site and register, where they can then purchase a digital license key. The software will then be automatically delivered electronically as a download via Digital River.

Normally the Windows 7 Student Upgrade costs $64.95, and while they didn’t specify if the upgrade was for 32 bit or 64 bit systems we can only assume it’s for both.

Microsoft will also be making Microsoft Office Professional Academic for $79.95 and the Microsoft Office Language Pack for $9.95.

According to the counter on their site, already more than 2 million students have already visited the page so it’s definitely popular.

Microsoft in fairness to them have offered some great deals on Windows 7 ever since it’s release. The family pack is one of the best deals that you can get, saving you around $200 for 3 licenses.

This latest student offer is yet another killer deal, and should encourage many of them to upgrade to Windows 7, they’ve no excuse not to now.

Microsoft Tag helps zombies overpower hippies

You may want to add Microsoft Tag to your arsenal against the ever-impending zombie apocalypse as a mobile-based alternative reality game played out a couple of months ago at the University of Colorado at Boulder has demonstrated.

Posters for “Zombies vs Hippies” around the campus teased people to scan a tag with their mobile phone which led them to a site that provided some back-story to the game. Players had objectives that involved entering codes, scanning tags and group missions that scored points both for the team and themselves. The person with the most points also scores a $500 gift card.

Although the student team from Boulder Digital Works, a creative technology program at the university, claims this was a physical and virtual game blended with the campus culture to meet and socialize with students on-campus, it’s result (zombies won) speaks volumes to how under-prepared we are.

Mashable Poll Shows WP7 Favored Over BlackBerry

As a political science student in college, I learned not to be such a firm believer in polls because not only are polls wrong very often, but polls are only as reliable as the demographic being polled and in this case it’s Mashable’s readers, a well-known Apple-leaning tech blog.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with running a tech blog that’s biased toward one company or product. I mean, this is a Windows news website, but I just wanted to put the poll and it’s findings into some context. Based on a holiday poll that Mashable recently ran among its readers, the results show that Windows Phone is beginning to make a dent in the the minds of smartphone users.

Based on their poll results below, Mashable readers prefer Windows Phone by a little under a percentage point. It’s not a huge margin, but being that Windows Phone is a version 1.0 and has only been in the market for less than two months, this could be telling.

While Windows Phone certainly isn’t as ubiquitous as the iPhone, Android or even BlackBerry for that matter, I have noticed an increase in Windows Phone sighting’s while I’m around town. I think the increased exposure to the market and developer concentration has put Windows Phone out there, now it’s up to Microsoft to support their devices and catch up to the leaders in terms of features.

Here are some of the other polls they’ve posted. The first chart should speak volumes about which users tend to read Mashable:
