Microsoft would like to take this opportunity to remind UK students that there is now less than 3 weeks left to purchase upgrade copies of Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional for the special offer price of £30 – perfect for those last minute Christmas purchases.  The offer gives students the chance to purchase either Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade* OR Windows 7 Professional Upgrade* from a special website http://www.ultimatesteal.co.uk. 

The offer is open to any UK student with a valid university or college email address (an email address given by the college or university, e.g. [email protected]) and will last until 5th January 2010 at which time the cost will revert to the standard pricing.  This makes it a great opportunity for students to get their hands on the most advanced Windows operating system of all time, whilst saving themselves money in the process.  The only other requirement is that students must currently have a genuine copy of Windows to be eligible to purchase the upgrade version.

Windows 7’s unique functions and applications make PCs easier, simpler and more fun to use.  For those students who have the latest laptops with touch screen technology, Windows 7 comes with enhanced capabilities for an enriched touch experience, allowing  a more direct and natural way to work – it’s also perfect for netbooks. Students who choose Windows 7 Professional over Windows 7 Home Premium will be able to access a further range of great features such as remote desktop hosting, access to Windows Mobility Centre, and Advanced Back Up.
