Sorry Andy, but thats not correct, see the conditions pasted from
their website. In particular 2.

The Key Facts About Eligibility.


1. All School, College, University students and their family members
are eligible!

2.No Student ID required for Microsoft Software*:As an Official
Microsoft Partner, our offers extend beyond academic email address
holders so that any family member or guardian can buy on behalf of a
pupil or student.

*All licensees' must be Qualified Education Users (i.e. students or
their parents or guardians)

Be very careful, read your computer manufacturers website for your model of
PC first.

A friend was in your position and he purchased the Windows 7 Ultimate for
his PC. Waste of money. His PC wouldn't run it. Checked on the manufacturers
website and sure enough, it wasn't compatible.


Why ever not?..

He must have had a very low spec PC then?..
