Just in case anyone doesnt know, www.dreamspark.com is the plase you can get a lot of free software if you have a .edu email address. I just got visual studio 10 professional edition. If it worked for post below.

Google Chrome warned me about the safety of this site.
I doubt it's legit.

I've used this site for a couple years now and it's pretty nice to have. Between this and my access to the MSDNAA, I pretty much have everything I need.
This site is completely safe.
Dreamspark is valid but good luck getting it to work correctly. Several friends have had problems with it.
It has worked great for me.
Ditto, free windows 7 etc.
Wow, it's great that Microsoft made a site where 8 year olds can download that hot new copy of SQL Server
Seriously, what is with those graphics?
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
8 year olds don't have .edu e-mail addresses. I believe it's supposed to be for trendy people.
Yes...and people in EDUcation
Also you do not have to have a .edu email specifically. You need to attend and have an email-adress at a school that has some deal with Microsoft (I assume this is mostly universities/colleges). I just registered, stated my country, school and gave my mail I got from the school and I was set to go.
The trendy remark was in response to the graphics remark.
Yup. You should see some of the tv commercials over here. It looks like everything from cooking oil companies to mall price campaigns sell their products to children... when it's not to retard children (due to the excessive usage of idiocy on their commercials).
This weekend went to buy some groceries and there was this young woman dressed as a strawberry and walking like she had just cast her broken legs and arms. She was also obviously instructed to do weird -- and probably unhealthy -- things with her eyes as strange sounds were emitted from her mouth. All for the name of a card of strawberries going for a 10% reduction...

Yay! It looks like a 1996 GeoCities page... if only it had some blinking text.Seriously, what is with those graphics?
Also, is anyone else getting a "Beatles" vibe from the clipart?
Soma
It's so nice to see people love the design of the page. I wonder what Microsoft were thinking when they made such a design that clearly people have such love for?
